Marjoram

No fried potatoes from grandmother's kitchen recipes are complete without this distinctive ingredient! Marjoram gives the typical German dish the finishing touch. However, cooks also benefit from this herb when preparing poultry, sauces, and much more. It grows bushy and tends to spread out. In summer, it displays pink flowers. The light green foliage adds freshness and entices with its fabulous flavor.

Origanum majorana grows broadly, bushy, and typically reaches a height of 30 to 80 cm, spreading up to 20 to 30 cm wide. The leaves of marjoram have a spicy taste.

The plant should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out in between.

Tip: Too much fertilizer can harm the herb's aroma! Provide herbs in pots with herb fertilizer once in spring. When planted in the garden, a single application of compost at the start of the season is sufficient.

Sowing outdoors should take place in April. The harvest time is in June.
