Notes
'Silver Anniversary' marjoram (Origanum laevigatum 'Silver Anniversary') is an herb for borders, rock gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Pink flowers open from early to late summer and again in early autumn, and butterflies visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Six Hills Giant nepeta, Ellagance Purple lavender, and Berggarten sage.
