Winter Savory is a hardy perennial herb valued for its robust flavour, attractive evergreen foliage and long history as both a culinary and medicinal plant. Growing to approximately 45 cm tall, it forms a compact, bushy shrub covered in small aromatic leaves and masses of delicate white to pale lilac flowers that attract bees and other beneficial insects.
Closely related to Summer Savory (Satureja hortensis), Winter Savory possesses a stronger, more pungent flavour that holds up well in slow-cooked dishes. It is traditionally used to season beans, soups, casseroles, meat dishes, stuffings and roasted vegetables, and has long been regarded as one of the classic herbs of European cooking. The leaves can be used fresh or dried, retaining much of their flavour after harvest.
Traditionally, Winter Savory has also been used in herbal medicine to support digestive comfort and general wellbeing. Its aromatic oils have made it a valued household herb for centuries, while its flowers provide an excellent nectar source for pollinators.
Drought tolerant once established, Winter Savory thrives in sunny positions with well-drained soil and makes an excellent addition to herb gardens, borders and productive landscapes.
