Sweet Marjoram (Origanum majorana) is one of the most beloved culinary herbs of the Mediterranean β a member of the mint family and a close relative of oregano, but with a sweeter, more delicate, and more complex flavor that makes it a staple of Middle Eastern, Italian, and French cuisine. The aromatic sage-green leaves are used fresh or dried in soups, stews, sausages, roasted meats, and egg dishes. Knotted pink-to-white flower buds add ornamental charm to the garden and are also edible. Plants grow compact and bushy, producing abundant aromatic foliage through the season. 70 days.
A tender perennial in warmer regions (zones 9+); grown as an annual in northern climates.
Start indoors 6β8 weeks before last frost. Surface sow β seeds need light to germinate. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 8β10 inches apart in full sun with well-draining soil. Water consistently but avoid overwatering. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushy growth. Cut back after flowering to promote fresh foliage. Perennial in zones 9+; grow as annual in colder climates.
