Description
Sweet marjoram is a tender perennial often grown as an annual, with small gray-green leaves and a gentle, floral flavor softer than oregano. Its warm, sweet aroma belongs with roasted vegetables, beans, eggs, dressings, sausages, and simple tomato dishes.
The plants stay tidy and well suited to containers, kitchen beds, and sunny borders. Harvest leafy stems before bloom for the best flavor, or let a few flower for small pollinator-friendly blossoms and the quiet charm of an old Mediterranean herb.
