Winter Savory

Herb

Satureja montana

Overview
A hardy Mediterranean perennial with needle-like leaves that provide intense, peppery flavor reminiscent of thyme and oregano combined. This drought-tolerant herb forms attractive low mounds of evergreen foliage topped with delicate white or pink flowers that attract beneficial insects. Known as the 'bean herb' for its traditional pairing with legumes, winter savory is more potent and longer-lasting than its summer cousin.
Planting
Direct sow in spring after last frost, or start indoors 6-8 weeks early. Can also propagate from cuttings or division.
Growing

Pests & diseases
