Plant details
Winter savory has the same properties as its summer relative, S. hortensis, although the flavour is much stronger. The small perennial shrubs are semi-evergreen, retaining their leaves in all but the coldest gardens, and remain useful all year round. As an insurance, pot up a few plants in autumn and keep in a cold frame until needed indoors. Plants make ornamental small shrubs and deserve a place in the flower border or rock garden, and their attractive flowers are a welcome decorative bonus, appearing earlier than those of summer savory.
