Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Germination typically occurs within 7 to 14 days. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually and transplant outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet Marjoram thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering, as the plant is susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions. Pinch back the tips to encourage bushier growth and harvest leaves as needed throughout the growing season. In colder climates, grow in containers that can be brought indoors before the first frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Sweet Marjoram herb seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739792572726,"sku":"EDNA-624","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8161783431_am5d.jpg?v=1792115990","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/sweet-marjoram-herb-seeds-500-count-heirloom-culinary-medicinal","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
