Herb Marjoram Sweet is the only perennial in very mild areas or if given winter cover.  Fine flavoured grey green leaves.  Prefers full sun and grows to a height of 30cm.

Sweet Marjoram has distinctive oregano-like leaves , beautifully fragrant and is best for food.  

Sow the seeds in flats during the frost and you may transplant them outside after the winter season ends when they are big enough to handle. It will take about 7 to 14 days for the seeds to germinate, and about 6 weeks for them to mature.

To encourage sufficient room to grow, the final spacing of plants must be 15 to 18 inches apart. Marjoram can grow 2 to 3 feet once matured. In late summer harvest plants at the peak of their bloom or just before they are in full flower. Cut the stems with flower heads attached and dry in a cool airy place, with cheesecloth underneath, or paper bag attached, to catch the leaves that fall. When the leaves and flowers are dry, remove from stems and store in airtight containers.
