Sweet Marjoram is a fragrant perennial herb valued for its soft, oval green leaves and delicate, sweetly aromatic flavour. Its compact, bushy growth and small flowers make it an attractive addition to herb gardens, borders, pots, containers, and kitchen gardens. The foliage is highly versatile and can be harvested fresh or dried for year-round culinary use.
Easy to grow in a warm, sunny position, Sweet Marjoram performs best in fertile, well-drained soil and benefits from regular harvesting to encourage fresh growth. The leaves are ideal for seasoning meats, vegetables, soups, sauces, salads, and Mediterranean-style dishes, adding a mild, sweet herbal flavour to home cooking.
