What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Marjoram Seeds produce a classic culinary herb prized for its warm, sweet, and gently spicy flavor. A staple in French and Mediterranean cuisine, marjoram enhances soups, sauces, vegetables, meats, and herb blends with a softer, more delicate taste than oregano. While it can be dried for storage, marjoram is especially valued when harvested fresh.

Plants grow to about 12 inches tall and feature velvety gray-green leaves and small pink flowers. The highly aromatic foliage makes marjoram a versatile addition to herb gardens, raised beds, and containers. In warm climates, marjoram may be grown as a perennial in zones 9–10, while elsewhere it is commonly treated as an annual.

Classic Culinary Herb with Gentle Flavor:

  • Sweet, mildly spicy taste ideal for Mediterranean dishes
  • Best used fresh, but suitable for drying
  • Compact plants reach about 12 inches tall
  • Velvety gray-green leaves with small pink flowers

Why Customers Love Marjoram:

  • Essential herb for French and Mediterranean cooking
  • Easy to grow in gardens or containers
  • Aromatic foliage with multiple uses
  • Suitable for fresh cooking or long-term storage

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow marjoram seeds in full sun and well-drained soil. Start seeds indoors or direct sow once temperatures are warm. Provide regular watering during establishment, then moderate moisture as plants mature.

Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushy growth and peak flavor. Leaves may be dried for later use or brewed into tea. Marjoram can also be used for extracts or essential oil applications.
