ORGANIC AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS

Origanum majorana

Although a perennial in the temperate areas, Sweet Marjoram is grown as a seasonal herb in India, prized for its fragrant, sage-green leaves and delicate pink-to-white flower buds. Native to the Mediterranean and a close relative of oregano, this flavourful herb is a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Its aromatic leaves enhance lamb, vegetable dishes, soups, stews, sauces, salads, and herbal teas, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen garden.

In India’s tropical monsoon climate, Sweet Marjoram thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil with full sun to partial shade. While it tolerates short wet periods, avoid waterlogged conditions during heavy monsoon rains. Harvest the leafy tops just as the plant begins to flower for the most aromatic flavour, and dry slowly in shade for preservation. Once established, Marjoram is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and ideal for pots, raised beds, or mixed herb borders, bringing fresh, flavourful leaves to your garden year-round.
