An aromatic plant with a delicate flavor
Today We at ProiezionidiBorsa want to talk about an aromatic plant with a very delicate flavor, which is often confused with oregano. We are referring to marjoram, a bushy herb, which has small leaves covered with a light down.
Marjoram is a very special plant, because during the cold months it loses its leaves but does not die. It loves sunny places and during the winter it fears strong winds and frost. It does not need particular soils but prefers well-drained ones.
