Marjoram 'Acorn Bank' is a popular perennial herb, prized for both its ornamental value and its culinary uses. The primary part used in the kitchen is its small, aromatic leaves, which provide a classic, sweet marjoram flavour that is milder and more floral than its relative, common oregano. However, its value extends beyond just the leaves; the attractive pinkish-purple flowers that appear in showy clusters are also edible and make a beautiful garnish for many dishes. When it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, mounding perennial, but it has specific needs. It is fussy about light and must have a location in full, direct sun to thrive and develop its best flavour and flowers. The main requirement for it to grow well is providing it with soil that is very well-drained, as it strongly dislikes "wet feet" and is quite drought-tolerant once established. As a major benefit to the garden, its prolific and attractive flowers are extremely popular with bees and other pollinators.
