Sweet Marjoram
Origanum majorana
Origanum majorana
A native to Cyprus and southern Turkey, the Greeks and Romans used Marjoram as a symbol of happiness. Its leaves can be utilized both fresh and dried as a culinary seasoning. It is similar to Oregano in flavor and in some Middle-eastern counties, the names are interchangeable.
The plants can reach twenty inches in height. Although a perennial plant in its native climates, it is cold-sensitive and therefore recommended for USDA zones 7 to 9. In other climate zones it is raised as an annual. However, Marjoram can sometimes acclimate and prove hardy even down to zone 5. Each packet contains 0.25 gram of seeds.
