Description
Origanum majorana Pagoda Bells is a superb recent variety of marjoram, an aromatic herb with a powerful and subtle fragrance. Throughout the summer, its flowers are surrounded by large jade green and pink bracts. You can use it in a pot or in a rockery (in mild climates, as it is rather sensitive to cold) in a dry and chalky soil, in the sun.
The Pagoda Bells marjoram ('Lizbell') is one of the many representatives of the Lamiaceae family, in which you can find numerous aromatic herbs such as lavender, thyme, rosemary... All these plants produce large quantities of essential oils which aim to repel pests and provide a screen against the sun's rays, like a sunscreen. However, in the garden, these substances mainly bring joy to our noses (and for some, to our taste buds)!
Pagoda Bells forms a compact clump, about 25cm (10in) tall and 30cm (12in) wide. Its leaves, very round, are of a beautiful jade green colour and are powerfully aromatic. This variety has the particularity of producing countless trailing inflorescences between June and October. While the flowers are tiny and not very interesting, the bracts (i.e. the leaves that surround the flowers) are tinged with purplish pink and give all the charm to this cultivar, which remains very attractive to pollinators.
Pagoda Bells, like all marjorams, appreciates rather dry and rocky, poor and chalky soils, in full sun, in order to produce maximum aroma. It also requires very good drainage, otherwise its roots may rot. Finally, note that marjorams are quite sensitive to cold: they die beyond -8 to -10°C (17.6 to 14°F) in general. So you will keep it under greenhouse during the cold season, unless you live in a region with mild winters. It is easy to grow in a pot, but also consider using it in hanging baskets, as its habit lends itself particularly well to it.
Associate it with other rockery plants such as thymes, savory, Erodiums, or even Catananches, for a guaranteed Mediterranean effect!

Planting and care
Marjoram requires sun, warmth, poor and light soil, dry, to flourish in the garden. Never, north of the Loire, the sky can be too blue or the climate too dry for oreganos, nor elsewhere in the south because they have seen others, in Greece, Turkey, Iran where they were born... Nevertheless, it remains cold-sensitive.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
