A lovely low-growing plant, Pot marjoram or Origanum onites, is a semi evergreen herb which has a wonderful fragrance. Pot Majoram thrives in dry, well drained soil, as it is native to the Mediterranean, and is hardier in a sheltered position.
With hairy stems and bright green pointed leaves, Pot Marjoram is an attractive plant for the herb garden, and is a must in any culinary garden. White flowers are produced in the late summer and are very attractive to bees. This attractive plant will grow to 60cm and cover an area of 30cm. Ideal for the front of a border in your herb garden or herbaceous border, a rock or gravel garden,great as an edging plant and good ground cover, it's also happy in a container.
Used in culinary dishes especially Mediterranean style food, Marjoram has a much more delicate flavour than its close relation oregano the leaves of which are more likely to be dried and stored. Pot Marjoram is used extensively in Greek and Italian meat dishes, soups, stuffings, tomato sauces and pasta, the leaves are generally used fresh where they are best used towards the end of the cooking process. Leaves can also be used to flavour oil and vinegar.
Out Pot Marjoram Herb plants are generally available to buy between March and September.
