"There's no better neighbor for it than marjoram. Companion plants - like rosemary and thyme, or tomatoes and marigolds - are plants that thrive under the same growing conditions. They like the same type of soil, amount of sunlight, and general temperature. Marjoram and lavender make terrific companion plants, stimulating each other's growth and improving their flavors as their shared soil is symbiotically enriched."
"Marjoram is admittedly not as commonplace of a kitchen herb as parsley, but it's one of the best staple herbs to have in your kitchen arsenal. For the uninitiated, marjoram is an intensely aromatic herb (about 2% essential oil) native to the Mediterranean, and subsequently, it's commonly used sauces, soups, stews, and vegetable dishes. On the palate, marjoram arrives warm, slightly spicy, a tad sharp, and not unpleasantly bitter."
Marjoram and lavender thrive together because they prefer similar soil, sunlight, and temperature, and they enhance each other's growth and flavors through shared soil enrichment. Marjoram forms a low, bushy shrub with densely gathered leaves that visually complements taller lavender stalks, creating a lush layered look. Marjoram is an intensely aromatic Mediterranean herb with about 2% essential oil and a warm, slightly spicy, mildly bitter flavor profile. Marjoram suits many savory dishes—sausages, lamb, chicken, turkey, stuffing, eggs, vegetables—while lavender is often used in sweet applications, together covering broad culinary needs.
