🌞 How to Grow
-
Start Indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, or sow outdoors once soil is warm.
-
Surface Sow: Press seeds gently onto moist compost — they need light to germinate.
-
Warm & Bright: Keep at 18–22°C and ensure good sunlight or grow light.
-
Transplant: Harden off and move to sunny beds or pots once frost risk has passed.
💧 Care Tips
-
Watering: Light waterings — marjoram prefers drier soil once established.
-
Feeding: Avoid rich fertiliser; lean soil intensifies its flavour.
-
Pruning: Trim regularly to keep plants bushy and prevent flowering too early.
-
Great in Pots: Ideal for containers and window boxes.
🌼 Growing Sustainably
-
Pollinator Haven: Wild marjoram flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hoverflies.
-
Drought Tolerant: Requires little water once mature — great for eco-gardens.
-
Natural Groundcover: Spreads gently and can reduce weed growth.
✂️ Harvesting
-
Start when plants are 4–6 inches tall.
-
Harvest sprigs in the morning for peak oils and flavour.
-
Best just before flowering, but the flowers are edible too!
Tip: Dry sprigs by hanging in a dark, airy place — store in jars for winter use.
❄️ Overwintering
-
Hardy in most UK gardens.
-
Cut back in autumn and mulch around base in colder areas.
-
In pots, move to a sheltered position during heavy frost.
