Savory
Satureja montana
Winter savory is a hardy, woody-based perennial herb native to Mediterranean slopes, making it ideal for sunny, well-drained rockeries or herb gardens. It is more drought-tolerant than its data suggests once established, and prefers lean, alkaline soils over rich, moist conditions. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape, and harvest sprigs regularly to encourage fresh, flavourful growth for culinary use.
