Marjoram: A Culinary Herb That Will Thrive in Containers or Your Herb Garden.
NOTE: In the video, we mention marjoram stems are green but they appear red in this content. That's because the stem deepens to burgundy in the late summer to early fall. This image was not collected during the early season.
What is marjoram?
Marjoram is an herb that is commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine. Its scientific name is Origanum majorana, and it belongs to the mint family. It grows well in full sunlight but can also thrive in partial shade.
Marjoram prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH of 6.5 to 7.5. It can grow in USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11 but flourish indoors in other zones.
Marjoram leaves are light green and velvety, while the stems are green and woody. They produce small white or pink flowers in the summer.
Growing marjoram:
To grow marjoram from seeds, plant them 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Put the seeds about a quarter inch deep in the soil. Space them 6 to 8 inches apart. When the seedlings have grown to a few inches tall, you can transplant them into a container or herb garden.
For maintenance, marjoram needs consistent watering, once or twice a week, depending on rainfall. Apply a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season to keep the plants healthy.
Marjoram makes an excellent flavoring for poultry, fish, soups, and salads. It perfectly complements other herbs, such as thyme and rosemary.
So, whether you grow it in a container or herb garden, marjoram is easy to care for, bringing good flavor to your cooking. Thanks for watching; please hit the subscribe button and notification bell for more gardening updates.
