Sweet Marjoram Seeds (Origanum majorana) has a delicate, sweet, pleasant flavor with a slight bitter undertone and is used for seasoning soups, stews, dressings, sauces, and for herbal teas. Similar to Oregano the Marjoram leaves are smooth but marjoram's aroma is not as strong as oregano's. Sowing: In short growing seasons, start marjoram inside about a month before the last frost; sow Sweet Marjoram seeds just beneath the surface of the soil and keep evenly moist at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F. Germination can be very slow, taking up to 21 days. Transplant well after the last frost, since marjoram cannot tolerate cold. Place the seedlings 10-12" apart in light, well drained soil and full sun. Marjoram can also be direct sown after the last frost, planting the seeds 6-8" apart and thinning the seedlings to 10-12". Marjoram also grows very well as a container plant or houseplant. Growing: Marjoram thrives on neglect, preferring slightly dry soil and strong sunlight because of its Mediterranean origin. Water only if drought conditions persist. Harvesting: Harvesting of the leaves or entire sprigs can begin when the plant reaches a height of 6". The best time to harvest the leaves is the morning after the dew has dried. Keep the plant trimmed to prevent flowering, since the leaves grow bitter after the plant flowers. Since heat tends to dissipate the flavor, add fresh marjoram to dishes immediately before serving. The leaves can also be dried or frozen for future use. Seed Saving: Harvest the seed heads individually as soon as they begin to turn brown and dry, and spread them out to finish drying in a protected location out of direct sunlight. Thresh out Sweet Marjoram seeds by rubbing or shaking the heads, and remove as much chaff as possible. Store Origanum Majorana flower seeds in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.
