Closely related to oregano, it produces soft grey-green leaves and clusters of tiny white to pale pink flowers that attract bees and other beneficial insects. While technically a perennial in warm climates, it is often grown as an annual in cooler regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, Sweet Marjoram has been an important herb in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, particularly in Greek cuisine. Its flavour is milder and sweeter than oregano, making it ideal for soups, salads, dressings, herb vinegars, tomato dishes, roasted vegetables and lamb recipes. The leaves can be used fresh or dried, retaining much of their fragrance after harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, Sweet Marjoram was associated with youth, beauty and happiness, and was often planted near homes and included in traditional celebrations.
