Marjoram Seeds - 100mg Sweet Aromatic Herb, Non-GMO

Marjoram is a beloved culinary herb known for its sweet, mild flavor and inviting aroma. With its small, oval leaves and compact growth habit, marjoram is a versatile addition to any herb garden, container, or kitchen windowsill. It pairs beautifully with vegetables, meats, and soups, and its delicate flavor is often preferred over oregano for its subtlety. This non-GMO variety is easy to grow and provides a steady supply of fresh leaves throughout the season.

Whether you're an experienced gardener or a beginner, marjoram is a rewarding herb to cultivate. Its bushy plants reach about 12-24 inches tall and produce tiny white or pink flowers that attract pollinators. Grow it alongside other herbs like basil, thyme, and rosemary for a fragrant and productive herb garden.

Planting & Care

Sow marjoram seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover as they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged at around 70°F (21°C). Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Marjoram thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Pinch back the tips to encourage bushy growth and harvest leaves as needed. For best flavor, harvest before the plant flowers. In colder zones, grow marjoram in containers so it can be brought indoors for winter.
