Wild Marjoram - Key Growing Information
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
Seedlings appear in 7–14 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C).
SOWING:
Transplants are recommended: sow in flats 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Scatter seed over the surface and press it in gently, leaving it uncovered since it needs light to sprout, and keep it evenly moist until it comes up. Move seedlings into their own containers once they have at least 4 true leaves. Plant out after the last frost, 12" apart in rows 18" apart, and pinch back soft new growth for bushier plants.
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Full sun.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Does best in sandy soil with good drainage; established plants handle drought.
PLANT HEIGHT:
Grows about 18–40" tall.
PLANT SPACING:
Space plants 12" apart.
HARDINESS ZONES:
Hardy in Zones 4–8.
HARVEST:
Cut leaves any time for cooking. For dried flowers, cut stems when the flowers are in bud but not yet open, and hang them upside down to dry.
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Origanum vulgare
