Grow a garden filled with Sweet Marjoram, from freshly harvested Origanum majorana herb seeds. Sweet Marjoram is mainly used as a culinary herb, adding a sweet and spicy flavor to foods. The plants themselves reach a mature height of about 12 inches tall and can grow up to 18 inches wide. Not only are these herbs used to add flavoring to various foods, they also make a cute flower as well. They produce pink flowers atop their green foliage, attracting butterflies and bumblebees to the garden. Categorized as a perennial herb, Sweet Marjoram will establish a deep root system, later wilting with the first killing frost. The plants will return the following growing season when all danger of frost has passed. Because marjoram is frost tender you may well need to grow new plants each year and a good way to do this is from seed. Sweet marjoram, unlike some varieties of oregano, almost always grows true to type when grow from seeds supplied by good quality seed merchants.
