Origanum laevigatum is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native to Cyprus, Syria, and Turkey. It is a woody-based perennial, growing to 50–60 cm (20–24 in) tall by 45 cm (18 in) wide, with strongly aromatic leaves and loose clusters of pink funnel-shaped flowers with persistent purple bracts. It is used as a culinary herb, as an ornamental plant in herb gardens, and as groundcover in sunny, well-drained situations. It tolerates poor soil, but dislikes winter wetness. The species, and the cultivars ‘Rosenkuppel’ and 'Herrenhausen' have been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
