Description
Majorana is the classic sausage herb with a mild, sweet‑spicy aroma—finer and rounder than its wild relative oregano. In temperate regions it is usually grown as an annual because it does not tolerate frost.
Care instructions
Sow seeds after April in a warm location or directly in the garden from May, as germination requires reliable warmth. Choose a full‑sun spot and water sparingly, as dryness enhances the aroma. Harvest the shoots just before flowering in July and August for peak flavor.
