Should I Cut Back Marjoram

Harvest marjoram leaves as required in summer – simply snip off a few shoots, then strip off the leaves. The flavour is best before the flower buds open.

Does marjoram need sun or shade?

When growing marjoram plants, it’s generally best to start the seeds indoors during late winter or early spring. Push seeds just below the soil surface. Seedlings can be transplanted outdoors once all threat of frost has passed. Marjoram should be located in areas receiving full sun with light, well-drained soil.

Does marjoram like full sun?

A warm, but not hot spot, in full sun is ideal for both of these herbs. Great as rockery plantings, in pots, or along borders. In the vegie bed, marjoram and oregano will respond well to a soil with a moderate amount of compost and decent drainage.
