Winter savoury is a nice perennial and the bees love the flowers. Mine is flowering now and is covered. I would second lemon balm as well.

How about Agastache/hyssop?

Here’s my Greek oregano growing in a seven inch pot.
This is just one plant (seed strain called Aristotle).
It’s about seven inches tall, very compact and tight almost like a box bush, so I don’t think it would be any good for flower foliage. Very attractive though.

This is my  Greek Oregano - the one that grows on the Greek hills. 
Took me ages to find the plant in the garden - its nowhere near as good looking as FEW's Aristotle (might have to grow that).

Whoops - sorry . It’s not Greek oregano - it’s green basil!
I’m definitely losing it!

This is my Greek oregano. I use it quite a bit for foliage. Nice when it’s fresh with little pink flowers and also pretty good when it’s going over. Can get decent 12” ish stems
This really is oregano - unlike my previous post which was basil!

Actually - the stems are much longer - loads are two feet long. 
I can save seed, Scarlet ……..,
