Definitions
- Botanical denomination Origanum vulgare.
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Origanum named ‘Drops of Jupiter’.
- the new plant resulted from a self-pollination by the inventor of the unreleased, unnamed, proprietary seedling named by breeder code 14-6-3 (not patented) as the female parent and the male parent on Jun. 30, 2015 at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich. Seed was harvested in the summer of 2015 and given the breeder code 15-2-1 during the final trial stages of the summer of 2015.
- the new plant has been asexually propagated initially by division in fall of 2017 followed by shoot tip cuttings since the summer of 2018 with the resultant plants remaining identical to the original plant, stable and true to type in successive generations.
- the present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions.
- the phenotype may vary with changes in the environment such as light, temperature, water and nutrient availability, etc. without a change in the genotype of the plant.
- Origanum ‘Drops of Jupiter’ is unique from all other Ornamental Oregano known to the inventor in the following combined traits:

Abstract
The new and distinct hardy perennial plant, Origanum ‘Drops of Jupiter’, has dense, rounded, habit with mostly upright to slightly outwardly stems. The foliage is ovate, and chartreuse-yellow and resists burning when planted in full sun. Flowering begins in early summer and continues to early fall or frost with mauve-pink petal colors with persistent purple calyces. The new plant is attractive and useful in the landscape en masse, as an accent, or in containers.
Description
Botanical denomination: Origanum vulgare.
Variety designation: ‘Drops of Jupiter’.
The first non-enabling disclosure of the claimed plant, in the form of a photograph and brief description on a website operated by Walters Gardens, Inc. on Feb. 2, 2020. Subsequently, the new plant was advertised in the “Walters Gardens 20-21 Catalog” by Walters Gardens, Inc. released on May 20, 2020. The claimed plant was first sold to the public on Aug. 23, 2020 by Walters Gardens, Inc., who obtained the plant and all information relating thereto, from the inventor. No plants of Origanum ‘Drops of Jupiter’ have been sold to the public in this country or anywhere in the world, nor has any disclosure of the new plant been made, more than one year prior to the filing date of this application, and such sale or disclosure within one year was either derived directly or indirectly from the inventor.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Origanum named ‘Drops of Jupiter’. The new plant resulted from a self-pollination by the inventor of the unreleased, unnamed, proprietary seedling named by breeder code 14-6-3 (not patented) as the female parent and the male parent on Jun. 30, 2015 at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich. Seed was harvested in the summer of 2015 and given the breeder code 15-2-1 during the final trial stages of the summer of 2015. The new plant has been asexually propagated initially by division in fall of 2017 followed by shoot tip cuttings since the summer of 2018 with the resultant plants remaining identical to the original plant, stable and true to type in successive generations.
Origanum ‘Drops of Jupiter’ is different from its parents and all other Ornamental Oregano known to the inventor. The nearest comparison cultivars known to the inventor are ‘Dr. Ietswaart’ (not patented), which is one of the grandparents of the new plant and ‘Aurea’ (not patented). ‘Dr. Ietswaart’ has a broader habit and the flowers are very pale lavender to white. ‘Aurea’ is more upright in habit and the flowers are paler pink with less significant bracts. The selfed parent, 14-6-3, is taller and looser in habit. Another grandparent, ‘Lizzie’ has green foliage with longer inflorescence with lighter lavender-pink flower. Compared with ‘ALL120506’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,589 the new plant has smaller chartreuse foliage and smaller flowers and calyces. ‘Bellisimo’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,353 has deeper colored flower bracts and the foliage is a deep olive green.
The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with changes in the environment such as light, temperature, water and nutrient availability, etc. without a change in the genotype of the plant. Origanum ‘Drops of Jupiter’ is unique from all other Ornamental Oregano known to the inventor in the following combined traits:
-
- 1. The habit is dense, rounded, mound with mostly upright to slightly outright stems spreading with maturity.
- 2. Foliage is ovate and chartreuse yellow when planted in full sun and resist burning.
- 3. Flowers are mauve-pink with showy and persistent purple calyces.
- 4. Flowers beginning in early summer and continues into early fall or until frost.
The photographs of the new plant Origanum ‘Drops of Jupiter’ are of a two-year-old plant in a full sun trial garden in Zeeland, Mich. and demonstrate the unique aspects of the new plant. The colors are as accurate as reasonably possible with color reproductions. Ambient light spectrum, temperature, source and direction may cause the appearance of minor variation in color.
The following descriptions are based on a two-year-old plant of Origanum ‘Drops of Jupiter’ grown in a full-sun display garden in sandy loam with supplemental water and fertilizer as needed. The color references are based on the 2015 edition of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where common dictionary terms are used. The new plant has not been observed under all possible environments. The phenotype may vary slightly with different environmental conditions, such as temperature, light, fertility, moisture and maturity levels, but without any change in the genotype.
