Marjoram Sweet

The most complex and refined of the Mediterranean herbs. Sweet Marjoram produces compact, bushy plants with small, soft, grey-green leaves and a warm, floral flavour with hints of pine and citrus that is more delicate than oregano and essential in Sunday roasts, stuffings, and herb butters. Listed on the RHS Plants for Pollinators. Approximately 300 seeds per packet.
