Description
The Lemon Savory (Satureja montana citriodora) is a perennial herbaceous plant, reaching a height of 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in). This herb is cultivated for its lemon-flavoured foliage, which adds aroma to many dishes, especially fish, grilled meats, and sauces. It can also be used for infusion. Plant in spring or autumn, harvest from June to October.
Mountain Savory is a very hardy perennial herbaceous plant (up to -15°C (5°F)), belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It is a typical aromatic plant of Mediterranean cuisine, naturally growing in scrubland, fallow fields, and sunny slopes. The Savory forms a beautiful cushion of small shiny green leaves that release a strong scent, resembling that of Thyme, when crushed. This honey-producing plant has pretty white flowers with a slight pink hue from July to September.
In cooking, this lemon-flavoured and spicy herb from Provence is used as a condiment to flavour vegetables, including legumes, meats, fish, or sauces. Consumed as an infusion, it aids digestion and relieves bloating. Its leaves can also be used fresh as poultices to soothe skin irritations, such as insect bites.
It is an undemanding plant that thrives in sunny, dry, and well-drained soil. At the end of winter, prune it into a compact ball shape with shears to maintain its compact habit.
Harvest: leaves can be harvested from June to October by simply cutting the branches, ideally in the morning. It is preferable to carry out this operation before flowering to preserve the fullness of its fragrance.
Storage: The leaves of Savory are best consumed fresh to fully enjoy their fragrance. However, for longer storage, you can dry the leaves in the shade and keep them in airtight jars.
Gardener's tip: in the garden, don't hesitate to mix things up by placing some aromatic plants like Savory in the middle of your perennial flower beds or in sunny rockeries. They will integrate perfectly and the sometimes strong scents of aromatic plants often have the ability to repel insects that may attack more delicate plants, such as certain rose bushes.

Planting and care
Savory is a hardy and easy-to-grow herb that thrives in poor, light, and even rocky soils that are well-drained. If your soil is rather moist and clayey, we recommend growing it in a pot where it will do very well. Planting can be done in spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October).
In the ground: Choose a very sunny location. Space the plants 30 cm (12in) apart in all directions. Dig a hole (3 times the size of the root ball), add well-rotted compost, place the root ball, and cover with soil. Firmly press down and water lightly.
In a pot: Place a layer of gravel or clay balls at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of potting soil and garden soil. Place the root ball, cover with soil, and firmly press down. Water lightly. Place your pot in the sun.
As for maintenance, water sparingly, mainly in summer, as Savory does not appreciate excessive moisture. For pot cultivation, do not let water stagnate in the saucer.
An annual pruning (on the current year's wood) will maintain a nice round and compact habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).

In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
