Marjoram
Price
€6.95
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) is offered here as a small potted plant, a bushy, aromatic herb in the mint family with small, soft grey-green leaves on wiry stems reaching 30 to 60cm. Knotted flower buds open to tiny white or pink blooms in summer, popular with bees and other pollinators. Sweeter and more delicate than its close relative oregano, marjoram's leaves are widely used fresh or dried in Mediterranean cooking, soups, stuffings and roasted vegetables. Best treated as a tender perennial in Irish and UK gardens, it is easily grown in pots or a sheltered herb bed, and makes a fragrant, productive addition to any kitchen garden.

Growing Instructions
Grow in full sun in light, well-drained soil, or in pots that can be moved under cover for winter, as marjoram is only reliably hardy in mild, sheltered spots. Water regularly while establishing, then sparingly once settled, as it prefers to run slightly dry. Pinch out growing tips regularly to encourage bushy growth and harvest leaves through summer. In cold areas, treat as an annual or take cuttings in autumn to overwinter indoors.

Frequently asked questions
Where do you ship?
We ship to all EU countries. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and the plant's size and weight.
What if my plant arrives damaged or doesn't make it?
Get in touch within 48 hours of delivery with a photo and we'll sort it out, whether that's a replacement or a refund. Bear in mind plants can look stressed after travelling (a little wilting or leaf drop is normal) and usually perk up within a few days once planted and watered.
Are your plants grown organically?
Yes, every plant. No pesticides, no herbicides, no fungicides, no synthetic fertilisers, ever. Further than that, we use regenerative agricultural practices. We feed the soil with natural local materials (wood chips, leaves, grass clippings, coffee grounds, sheep's wool) and grow in polycultures the way nature does, supporting wildlife and local biodiversity through our practices.
Will this grow where I live?
All of the plants sold on our website should grow in any country across Europe. However, On every property there will be variations in soil quality, type and structure so it is up to you to find the appropriate places within your property for each plant. Visit our blog for growing tips and information on this, and feel free to ask us for advice!
How will my order be packaged?
Plastic-free, always. No bubble wrap, no polystyrene, no plastic tape. Everything travels in brown paper, cardboard, leaves, or straw, materials that return to the earth. Your plants are packed snugly so they don't shift in transit.
When will my order ship?
Orders are dispatched within a few business days. Some plants are seasonal and ship only during their dormant or active window (noted on the page where relevant). Free shipping applies to orders over €100.
Can I track my order?
Yes. If you select tracked shipping, you'll get tracking details by email as soon as your order is dispatched, so you know exactly when to expect it and can be ready to unpack your plants promptly.
What do I do when my order arrives?
Open the box the day it arrives and get the plant out. Give it water, keep it somewhere sheltered and bright for a few days to settle, then plant it out when you're ready.
Are you licensed to sell and ship plants?
Yes. We're licensed by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), which means our plants are inspected and certified to meet plant health and phytosanitary standards for sale and shipping across the EU. You're buying from a registered, compliant nursery.
