About Marjoram
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) is a tender perennial herb commonly grown in the UK as a culinary and ornamental plant. It is valued for its soft, aromatic foliage, compact habit, and suitability for pots, raised beds, and herb gardens.
Marjoram prefers warm, sunny locations and free‑draining soil. In colder areas, it is often grown as an annual or protected over winter.
All Marjoram supplied by Dartana Plants is provided as plug plants, suitable for growing on before planting out.

Planting & Growing Marjoram
Marjoram plug plants should be grown on and planted out once established and after the risk of frost has passed.
Growing guidance:
- Plant in full sun for best flavour
- Use free‑draining soil or compost
- Water regularly during dry periods
- Harvest little and often to encourage fresh growth
Plants can be trimmed back to maintain a neat shape and reduce flowering if foliage production is preferred.
Marjoram in Kitchen & Wildlife Gardens
Marjoram is widely used in cooking for its mild, sweet flavour and is well suited to kitchen gardens. When allowed to flower, it can also attract pollinating insects, making it a useful addition to wildlife‑friendly planting schemes.
