Marjoram 'Golden' 1 Litres
3 FOR £12
Origanum vulgare 'Aureum' is a herbaceous perennial that is also known as golden oregano or marjoram. It is a variety of the common oregano, with yellow to gold-coloured leaves that have a fuzzy texture. The leaves are aromatic and release a strong, spicy scent when rubbed or crushed. Golden oregano produces small, pink or purple flowers in mid-summer that are attractive to bees and other pollinators.
This variety of oregano prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and can tolerate dry conditions. It is often used as a decorative plant in herb gardens, rock gardens, or as a groundcover. Like other types of oregano, it is also used in cooking to add flavour to dishes such as pizza, pasta, and soups. Golden oregano is a hardy plant that can survive in colder climates, although it may die back in the winter and reemerge in the spring.
