GET STARTED

Group marjoram and oregano with other drought-tolerant herbs such as rosemary and thyme. They grow well in pots or gravel gardens, and look terrific spilling over banks and retaining walls or trailing from a hanging basket.

Harvest when the oil content is highest just before the plants flower. Pick on a dry, sunny morning after the dew has evaporated. Hang in a room with good air circulation out of direct sunlight until completely dry.
