Marjoram, Sweet Seeds (Origanum marjorana)

Plant Information: 

Origanum marjorana

Sow: March to May 
Flowers: July to October
Harvest: March to October

Considered to be the finest flavour of the Oregano family. Less hardy than O. vulgare so grow as an annual or protect over winter.

Sowing instructions:

Sow a few seeds in a 7cm pot, don't cover as the seeds need light to germinate, and place on a sunny windowsill. Pot on when large enough to handle. 

Growing instructions:

Best grown in a pot in free-draining compost and protected over winter. 

Notes:

For this variety add the leaves at the end of cooking.
