Your care routine
Watering
Water to keep young roots moist, then allow a little surface drying between waterings.

Warm, well-drained soil or container compost.
Temperature
Frost-tender crop: start with warmth and move outside only after cold weather has passed.
Planting
Surface sow with warmth; transplant after frost, allowing about 25 cm between plants.
Harvest
Snip young leafy stems before heavy flowering; retain the branching base.
Through the seasons
Sweet marjoram is frost tender. Bring a pot into a bright, frost-free location or sow fresh plants next spring.
When your plant needs help
