Sweet Marjoram

This herb has an incredible smell and a good flavor. A low growing herb that as grown as an annual in Ohio. The herb compliments any meat, fish, dairy, or vegetable dish. The flavor is similar to oregano but less strong. It has a strong, sweet smell. This is one of our favorite herbs to have in our cabinet. It grows very quickly and gives a decent harvest. We have successfully overwintered it in a pot so that’s a great option if you decide you can’t live without it!

Planting/Harvesting Notes

  • Plant after danger of frost has passed
  • Plant seedlings 12 inches apart in a well drained sunny spot
  • When flower buds appear, cut plants back to stimulate new growth
  • If you want this herb over winter, you must dig it up and pot it as this will not survive the winter
