Marjoram, Sweet
Origanum majorana
Description: Marjoram is a fragrant, bushy perennial herb known for its soft, oval-shaped green leaves and clusters of delicate white or pale purple flowers. With a milder, sweeter flavor than its close relative oregano, Marjoram is a favorite in culinary gardens and is widely used in Mediterranean cuisine. Its compact growth habit makes it perfect for herb gardens, borders, and container planting.
Wildlife Benefits: Marjoram’s nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing biodiversity in your garden.
Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally used to support digestion, relieve stress, and promote relaxation, Marjoram is valued for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly brewed into teas, infused into oils, or used in aromatherapy for its soothing effects.
Native Status: Native to the Mediterranean region, Marjoram thrives in warm climates and is well-suited to Georgia’s growing conditions.
Pollinator Friendliness: A magnet for bees and butterflies, Marjoram supports a thriving pollinator population while adding beauty and fragrance to your garden.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 12–24 inches
Spacing: 12–18 inches
Sun/Shade: Thrives in Full Sun
How to Grow: Marjoram prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, as it is drought-tolerant once established. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and prolongs the plant’s productive season.
Enhance your garden and kitchen with Marjoram—a versatile herb that brings delicate flavor, aromatic beauty, and pollinator support to your space.
Available in 2.5 inch and 4.25 inch (quart) pots.
