Wild marjoram can be seen in dry, grassy places such as roadsides, coastal paths and heathland. It flowers from June to September and grows to a height of about 2 to 3 feet. Its oval leaves have the familiar smell, and both they and the flowers can be dried and chopped to be used as a flavouring for meats and other dishes.
