Origanum majorana aka Marjoram

Marjoram (Origanum majorana) is a cold-sensitive perennial herb or undershrub with sweet pine and citrus flavours, native to Cyprus and southern Turkey and synonymous with oregano in some Middle Eastern countries. In the West, it is sometimes called pot marjoram, while in some countries it is referred to as sweet marjoram or knotted marjoram and mistakenly called Greek oregano. Marjoram has a slightly sweeter taste than oregano, and the two herbs can be used interchangeably in cooking. Growing marjoram requires regular watering and direct light and should be kept less than one foot from a window. It also needs well-draining soil and may require a gentle, organic fertilizer throughout its peak growing season. Marjoram is a symbol of happiness in many cultures and can add a unique flavor to any dish.
