Sweet and fragrant, marjoram is used both as a culinary herb and medicinally. It was reputedly created by Aphrodite as a symbol of happiness. Don’t confuse marjoram with oregano. They are quite different in both flavor and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender Perennial (Annual in northern climates 60-85)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 -10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-12”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandy, well-drained yet fertile\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light green with lilac\/white flower-knots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm spice and sweet woody notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing and Growing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis herb has an aversion to the cold, so it’s best to start these seeds indoors in early spring. Once the threat of frost is over, you can transplant the seedlings outdoors by planting them 12 inches apart or in a pot with well-drained soil, where they can receive full sun. Marjoram seeds will germinate in 1 to 2 weeks and need regular water. With their rounded, flat green leaves, marjoram can be trimmed back at flowering for renewed growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarjoram can be used fresh or dried. Pick leaves as needed, never taking more than ⅓ of the plant. Flowering stems can be used as a tea for headaches and simple gastrointestinal distress. Make sure to store leaves in an airtight container and use them before a new growing season arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds Per Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 mg - Approximately 2,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 oz - Approximately 125,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 oz - Approximately 500,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Approximately 2,000,600 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"500mg Pkg (3x4)","offer_id":35546899873947,"sku":"18737","price":1.89,"currency_code":"PEN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":35546899906715,"sku":"11547","price":13.44,"currency_code":"PEN","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":35546899939483,"sku":"11548","price":35.19,"currency_code":"PEN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":35546899972251,"sku":"16669","price":97.44,"currency_code":"PEN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/6454\/9531\/products\/marjoram-sweet-herb-plant-wm_700.jpg?v=1597674960","url":"https:\/\/earthpak643-com.myshopify.com\/products\/marjoram-sweet-marjoram-seeds","provider":"earthpak643.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
