Description: 1000+Sweet Marjoram Seeds(Origanum majorana)Knotted Marjoram Majorana Garden houeplant Perennial Herb USA Marjoram is a perennial herb that is related to Oregano, but has a sweeter citrus flavor to the leaves.It is hardy to USDA Zone 5, and is a wonderful addition to any herb garden.It is usually used for culinary purpose, and the leaves retain their aroma even when dried. This makes it ideal for harvesting in the summer, and storing for making flavorful additions to winter soups, stews, sauces, and dressing. Sowing:In short growing seasons,start marjoram inside about a month before the last frost, sow Sweet Marjoram seeds just beneath the surface of the soil and keep evenly moist at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F.Germination can be very slow, taking up to 21 days. Transplant well after the last frost, since marjoram cannot tolerate cold. Place the seedlings 10-12 inches apart in light, well drained soil and full sun. Marjoram can also be directly sown after the last frost, planting the seeds 6-8 inches apart and thinning the seedling to 10-12 inches.Marjoram also grows very well as a container plant or houseplant. Growing:Marjoram thrives on neglect, preferring slightly dry soil and strong sunlight because of its Mediterranean origin. Water only if drought conditions persist. Harvesting:Harvesting of the leaves or entire sprigs can begin when the plant reaches a height of 6 inches.The best time to harvest the leaves is the morning after the dew has dried. Keep the plant trimmed to prevent flowering, since the leaves grow bitter after the plant flowers. Since heat tends to dissipate the flavor, add fresh marjoram to dishes immediately before serving. The leaves can also be dried or frozen for future use.
