Marjoram is a tasty herb that is also popular with bees, butterflies, moths and pollinators.

Grows to 60cm tall and across in full sun and a well-drained soil, and it will do well in a container placed in a sunny spot.

Flowers from May to June or pick the tips of each branch to delay flowering and harvest the leaves for cooking.
