Sweet Marjoram
Growing Sweet Marjoram
Sweet Marjoram is an aromatic herb prized for its mild oregano-like flavor and warm, slightly sweet balsamic fragrance. Its gentler flavor makes it a versatile seasoning for dishes where traditional oregano might be too strong.
Start Sweet Marjoram indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants about 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade. This heat- and drought-tolerant herb is also well suited to containers.
Ready to begin harvesting in about 75 days, cut fresh leaves or stems as needed once plants are established.
Sweet, aromatic, and versatile, Marjoram is excellent with fish, meats, pasta, sauces, vegetables, and everyday Mediterranean-style cooking.
