How do you keep marjoram alive in the winter? It's a warm climate plant? Here we tried growing it, but the winter kills it.

I am Zone 4A here and it has done fine. Sometimes it is mulched, if I have the hay in autumn, but lately, mostly not. Have never treated it different than the oregano it usually grows near.
Wow. Probably is some very Hardy cultivar because the one that is grown around here comes from Greece and it's certainly dies at temperature below 0 centigrade. Even Wikipedia says Considered a tender perennial (USDA Zones 7–9).

Not sure of where I got it as I think I planted it in 2009 in the Big garden. It was transplanted to the New Herb garden last spring, and is about to be transplanted back to the Big garden due to construction, this morning actually. It's never been fazed by all of this...
I lost a LOT of stuff to winter kill this winter, but this plant was totally unfazed....
