Wild Marjoram Organic Herb Seed

Item #HSC-HRB-039-PKT

A gentle, sweet herb for tea and the kitchen.

Its mild, sweet taste suits herbal tea and the kitchen; use the leaves fresh or dried. Pink to purple flowers open from midsummer into fall and taste mildly of marjoram; scatter them on salads, stews, soups, stuffings and sauces, or pair them with fish, mushrooms or citrus.

Bees, hoverflies, lacewings, tachinid flies and parasitic wasps all visit the flowers. For cut flowers, harvest in bud for the best color.

Ready to harvest about 85–90 days from sowing. Perennial in Zones 4–8. Open-pollinated. Certified organic seed.
