Ferry Morse Marjoram-Sweet

Product Description

Annual Herb. Plants produce aromatic, pungently-flavored leaves which are used either fresh or dried to flavor soups, egg and cheese dishes, lamb, pork, and veal. A pinch of fresh leaves adds a subtle appetizing aroma and taste to fresh garden salads.

Start seed indoors in sunny location 6 weeks before planting outdoors. Or sow seed in the garden in sunny location in rich, well-drained soil. Performs best in rows 12 inches apart. Thin plants to 12 inches apart when they are 2 inches tall. Pick leaves as needed.

Encourage foliage by removing flowers as they appear. For drying, cut before flowers open in mid-summer. Marjoram will thrive as a potted plant.
