Marjoram is a widespread spice in our country. It belongs to the same genus as another popular spice, the oregano. It belongs to the family of Lamiales and the class of Dicotyledons. The plant is herbaceous, loves heat and sun as its motherland is North Africa.

An interesting fact about this spice, widely used in gastronomy in our country, is that it can be grown as an annual plant outdoors or as a perennial indoors. During the winter months move it indoors in a pot, planter or a suitable box, as it is not cold resistant.

The Marjoram blooms with numerous tiny white flowers in July and August. During this period the plant spreads a strong fragrance around it. 

The taste of the spice is slightly bitter and has a tart tinge, highly valued by chefs. When properly looked after, the plant grows up to 30 cm. Grow it on a well-trained and fertile soil or on clay-sandy soil.

You can sow it all year round in suitable pots if you keep them in a well-heated room. In the spring, as soon as the frosts have passed, take the spice outdoors in containers or plant it in the yard or in the garden. Sowing is done at maximum 0.5 centimeters in the soil.

Marjoram has many tiny seeds. You can scatter them. Put the seedlings in rows with a distance of 30 centimeters between the plants in one row and about 40 centimeters between the rows. The seeds of the spice will germinate in 14 days. During the period of germination water them often and abundantly. After the seeds have germinated, decrease the watering and water from time to time. Fertilize at germination and after the first harvest.
