Product Details

Winter savory captures the best qualities of many herbs in one. Spicy and peppery with a hint of thyme and mint, this complex seasoning is especially delicious in rich, savory dishes. An attractive ornamental in rock gardens and borders, it beckons bees and other beneficial insects, and is a low-maintenance herb that grows well in poor soils.

    Delicious, goes well in all soups and chicken dishes.

    I have it on my steps. I touch the plant to get a whiff when I stride by.

    Winter Savory is doing well under grow lights in the basement. It is hardy and fragrant. Has been growing for about 6 weeks now.

    Wasn’t sure if the downpours would wash away my seeds, placed a damp paper towel over them and had 95% germination! Awesome!
