Winter Savory (Satureja montana )Herb in 9 cm Pot
Winter savory (Satureja montana) is an Evergreen perennial semi-woody herb of the Lamiaceae (mint) family. A native of Southern Europe it grows to about 50 cm tall and bears opposite leaves on the growing parts of the stalks. It is easy to grow, but requires a well-drained soil and direct sunlight for at least six hours a day.
Small purple flowers appear in summer, and a light prune is advised after these have faded is recommended to keep the plant neat. It is also worth clipping over the top of the plant in Spring to get a fresh supply of young leaves for picking.
Herb Usage
The fresh leaves have a strong spicy flavour and make an excellent accompaniment with bean stews and with meats, working especially well as a flavouring for chicken or turkey. The strong flavour of the leaves become much milder under prolonged cooking so to keep the flavour add the herb near the end of cooking. Chopped winter savory makes an excellent addition to Yorkshire pudding batters lifting the flavour of the dish. As a result it works wonderfully in toad-in-the-hole.
In modern times this herb is little used but for centuries it used to be a staple of many herb gardens. It was said to have antiseptic and digestive benefits. It has also been used as an expectorant and as a poultice for the treatment of bee stings or insect bites.
The truth is that it is so easy to grow and has a wonderful distinct flavour so there is no reason for you not to introduce it into your own garden.

super healthy plant - Winter Savory
Arrived promptly in good condition. My puppy stole the pot and chewed the contents... I managed to salvage the main stem and planted it out. The torn-off pieces, I prepared as cuttings and planted in compost in the original pot. Delighted to say that all pieces appear to be growing well. So good resiliant plant from Hooks Green!
