Survival Garden Seeds offers marjoram seeds, perfect for gardeners who want to cultivate these aromatic and versatile herbs. Our non-GMO seeds are selected for their germination rates and productivity, ensuring a plentiful and aromatic harvest.
Marjoram, or Origanum majorana, is closely related to oregano. However, it offers a milder, sweeter taste. Its leaves can be used fresh or dried to impart a delicate flavor that enhances the overall taste profile of cooked dishes. Native to Cyprus and southern Turkey, today the marjoram herb has adapted to other climates. It grows well in USDA hardiness zones 6 to 9.
To get a head start, plant marjoram seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Alternatively, sow them in the garden in late spring. These seeds require light to germinate. Press them gently onto the soil surface without covering. Find a place where the plant will receive direct sun in well-drained soil. Germination usually starts in a week or two.
Marjoram plant care is quite basic and simple. They prefer direct sun and are tolerant to drought. Occasional watering is required, if there is no rain. Prune the plants regularly. It helps maintain bushy growth, preventing leggyness. Marjoram can be harvested as needed. The flavor is most potent just before flowering, and early morning harvests are advised.
With Survival Garden Seeds, growing marjoram in your garden will be a delight. This sweet, aromatic herb will upscale your culinary palette and its beauty will brighten your garden aesthetic. Overall, you’ll enjoy having this herb in your garden for years to come.
