Actually- I went back to the dried flowers, shook them on a white surface and viola- the tiny seeds came tumbling out! Thx!

Marjoram is a half-hardy perennial often treated as an annual in cold climates. Marjoram is a little grey-green plant that will grow up to 30cm high if grown as an annual and up to 60cm high as a perennial. Branches that hang down will take root and grow to form a loose, airy clump. It is very slow to propagate from seed - once you've got a plant, it can be divided. In severe winters, pot up the roots and winter indoors. It has a tidier growth habit and a less robust flavour than Oregano. Yes, the leaves can be dried - they tend to be much smaller than those of oregano, and for drying, should be harvested before flowering. The seeds form inside the tiny, insignificant (almost unnoticeable) white flowers, and can be hard to find, but since commercial seeds aren't always easy to find either, it might be worth your trouble to look for them! You will need to ensure that any plant or seeds you buy are labelled Origanum majorana, or else you'll be fobbed off with oregano.

Hi Florauk. No I can't. Sorry! Yes, I think I can find some brighter spot, not too warm. If I need to, I'll put it under my fluorescent lights I use for seed starting. The fresh air is no problem, but now I realize the drainage wasn't too good. My Rosemary started to brown off and I to transplant it yesterday too. No, don't tell me they're hard to grow. :) They've been doing so well. I love the Mediterranean family.

"I believe sweet marjoram may be an annual. You need to start it every year from seed. Fortunately, it is very easy. It is the preferred oregano for cooking -- at least in northern and central Italy -- because of its delicate flavor." Perrenial in its native climate, and grows well in a pot. It may be in the same genus as oreganos, but sweet marjoram and Greek oregano just aren't interchangable. Oregano's spicy and pungent, sweet majoram's mild and, well, sweet. Just chew on a fresh raw leaf if you need evidence... Oregano should almost burn off your taste buds, marjoram should be mild and cleansing with a little sweet aftertaste. World of difference! Grow and love them both, but know what each is there for.
