Description

Marjoram Sweet (Origanum majorana) is a beloved historic heirloom herb prized for its delicate, citrusy-sweet aroma and mild, pine-like flavor. A close relative of oregano, it offers a softer, sweeter, and far less pungent flavor profile with subtle herbal undertones. Featuring low-growing, bushy mounds of soft, velvety grey-green leaves, it is an indispensable culinary staple for Mediterranean dishes, poultry seasonings, roasted meats, soups, stews, and herbal teas. Easy to grow in warm sunny conditions, it also yields small white-to-pink flower clusters that attract beneficial garden pollinators.
