Herb
Variegated Marjoram
C tier
Variegated marjoram carries cream or gold leaf margins on a sweet marjoram base—pretty in pots, lower vigour, true but lighter culinary yield. Flavour is still sweet-floral when green tissue dominates. Best as garnish plant. Not the choice for sausage-scale dried herb.
