Herb 'Sweet Marjoram'

Origanum majorana — Sweet Marjoram
Sweet Marjoram is a compact, aromatic herb closely related to oregano, but with a gentler, sweeter, and more balsam-like flavour. Fresh or dried, its leaves enhance soups, stews, sauces, and stuffing, while pairing beautifully with citrus, mushrooms, and fish. The small edible flowers share the same delicate flavour, making them a charming garnish for salads or savoury dishes. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, marjoram is a versatile addition to both kitchen and garden.
