Marjoram
This herb is not often used in the kitchen, but should be for its delicate flavor similar to oregano. It’s often paired with vegetables and makes a perfect addition to salad dressings.
This plant is best grown from cuttings as it takes seeds a long time to germinate, making propagating quicker. Besides its uses in the kitchen, the compact and lush leaves make it a wonderful ornamental plant.
Oregano
This herb makes a great groundcover as well as a useful herb in the kitchen. It’s a bit more difficult to get cuttings to grow and it may take a little longer, but well worth the effort for this aromatic plant.
The delicate leaves are often added to cheese and tomato dishes and a pizza should not be without a few sprigs to enhance its flavor.
Tarragon
Tarragon has an interesting flavor similar to licorice or anise. Its many health benefits are great added to almost any dish such as eggs, vegetables and meat like chicken or pork.
It makes a fabulous sauce for fish like salmon and can be added to salad dressings. Take cuttings, root in soil, and plant out in spring for a fresh leafy green herb.
Chamomile
Known for its health benefits, chamomile is a great plant to propagate for its use in teas and its pretty flowers in the garden. It adds a bit more than just leafy greens to the herb garden and is a great pollinator attractor.
Take cuttings and root them in soil for 6-8 weeks before planting them in a sunny spot.
