Description
Winter Savory or Mountain Savory (Satujera montana) is an herbaceous perennial, used as a condiment, aromatic and medicinal plant, reaching a height of 20 to 30cm (8 to 12in). This herb is cultivated for its tender green leaves with a pungent and peppery flavour that adds aroma to stuffings, game, stews, salads and vegetables. It is milder than Summer Savory. It can also be used for infusions. Sow from April to May for a harvest from June to October the following year.
Naturally growing in scrubland, fallow fields and sunny slopes, Savory is a typical aromatic plant of Mediterranean cuisine. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family and produces pretty blueish-white edible flowers from July to September. It is quite hardy, at least down to -15°C (5°F). Mountain Savory forms a beautiful cushion of small shiny green leaves that release a strong scent similar to Thyme when crushed.
In cooking, this spicy and slightly bitter herb is used as a condiment to give a Mediterranean flavour to many dishes. Consumed as an infusion, it aids digestion and relieves bloating. Its leaves can also be used fresh in poultices to soothe skin irritations such as insect bites. It is an undemanding plant that grows in the sun and in dry and well-drained soil. At the end of winter, prune it into a compact shape with shears to maintain its compact habit.
Harvest: the leaves are harvested from June to October by simply cutting the branches. It is preferable to do this before flowering to preserve its full aroma.
Storage: Savory keeps very well once dried.
Gardener's tip: in the garden, don't hesitate to mix things up by planting some aromatic plants like Savory in the middle of your perennial borders or even in sunny rockeries. It looks very pretty and the sometimes strong scent of aromatic plants often has the ability to repel insects that may attack more delicate plants such as certain roses.
Organic or "AB" seeds come from plants grown in organic agriculture (without the use of pesticides). They undergo no treatment after harvest. These seeds are suitable for organic market gardening.

Planting and care
Sowing :
Winter Savory seeds are sown from April to May at a temperature between 13 and 16°. Germination usually takes 18 to 24 days. The sowing is done in a tray filled with good sowing compost, placed in full light. The seeds are lightly buried and just covered with a pinch of compost or vermiculite. The tray should not be covered as Savory is sensitive to humidity, so keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged.
When the seedlings appear strong enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimatise them to cooler conditions. Transplanting to the garden or into pots should be done when the plants are well developed, and they may spend their first winter in a cold frame if necessary.
Cultivation :
Savory is a hardy and easy-to-grow herb that thrives in poor, light, and even rocky well-drained soils. It should be planted in a sunny location. If your soil is rather moist and clayey, we recommend growing it in a pot where it will thrive. As for maintenance, water every 15 days or monthly if the plant is already well established. An annual pruning (on the wood of the current year) will maintain a nice rounded 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 colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
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).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
