Notes

'Wild Marjoram' garlic (Allium sativum 'Wild Marjoram') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant plants stand erect and attract butterflies.

Pairs well with Basil, Lemon cucumber, and Ghost pepper.
