| Germinated and grew well. Healthy plants, few flowers, so not sure how effective it was as a pollinator. Tasted good. |

| After a slow start in the season the Wild Marjoram grew well and provided a large cutting for drying the herb. I found the flavor fresh to be pleasant, but as a dried herb it was quite mild and almost boring |
