Description: MARJORAM SWEET Herb Garden Medicinal Culinary Perennial Non-GMO 1000 SeedsFresh, Pure Seed – No FillersPRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThis perennial is usually grown as an annual and has a lovely sweet aroma and a mild oregano flavor. The small grey-green leaves should be picked before flowers appear and will retain their flavor when dried. These are attractive plants for the herb garden too.Marjoram can be found in the earliest records of herbs and medicines, being valued for its antiseptic properties and its warming, relaxing effects; it treats anxiety, insomnia, tension, and poor digestion. In "The Herball," published in 1597, Gerard recommends marjoram for those "given over to much sighing." Its Latin name is derived from Greek words that mean "joy of the mountains." According to Roman legend, the goddess of love, Venus, gave marjoram its scent "to remind mortals of her beauty". This herb is said to bring happiness and warmth and banish sorrow, being traditionally used at both weddings and funerals; it also makes an excellent shrub, and was planted in English knot gardens and mazes. Its culinary use dates from the 1300s in Italy and Spain, and it became a well known herb in all of Europe by the Middle Ages. Though marjoram has been known in America since colonial times, its common use began after World War II when soldiers returned with a taste for food in the Italian style. Today, marjoram is used extensively in Greek and Mediterranean cuisine.FAST FACTSCommon Names: Sweet Marjoram, Knotted Marjoram, Pot MarjoramLatin Name: Origanum majoranaType: Open Pollinated, Heirloom, Warm SeasonLife Cycle: Annual, Tender PerennialUSDA Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12Planting Method: From TransplantSunlight: Full SunHeight: 24 InchesColor: GreenBloom Season: Blooms Early Summer, Blooms Late SummerUses: Aromatic, Deer Resistant HOW TO GROWSowing: In short growing seasons, start marjoram inside about a month before the last frost; sow Sweet Marjoram seeds just beneath the surface of the soil and keep evenly moist at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F. Germination can be very slow, taking up to 21 days. Transplant well after the last frost, since marjoram cannot tolerate cold. Place the seedlings 10-12" apart in light, well drained soil and full sun. Marjoram can also be direct sown after the last frost, planting the seeds 6-8" apart and thinning the seedlings to 10-12". Marjoram also grows very well as a container plant or houseplant.Growing: Marjoram thrives on neglect, preferring slightly dry soil and strong sunlight because of its Mediterranean origin. Water only if drought conditions persist.Harvesting: Harvesting of the leaves or entire sprigs can begin when the plant reaches a height of 6". The best time to harvest the leaves is the morning after the dew has dried. Keep the plant trimmed to prevent flowering, since the leaves grow bitter after the plant flowers. Since heat tends to dissipate the flavor, add fresh marjoram to dishes immediately before serving. The leaves can also be dried or frozen for future use.WE SHIP FAST & FREE!
