Winter savory forms a low woody perennial with small aromatic leaves.
A space where it can thrive
Grow as a cultivated garden crop in a bed or suitably sized container. The illustrated nursery pot is a presentation, not a recommendation for the mature plant’s root space.
Ask about availabilityAvailability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Your care routine
Watering
Water young plants to establish; let the surface dry slightly between later waterings.
Soil & drainage
Warm, freely draining soil in a sunny position.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Sow fine seeds shallowly and thin for airflow. Pinch young plants to encourage branching.
Harvest
Cut tender leafy shoots before or during early flowering, keeping enough growth for recovery.
Through the seasons
Winter savory is perennial. Trim lightly into leafy growth, preserve its woody framework and keep the crown freely drained in winter.
When your plant needs help
- Unlike annual summer savory, preserve its perennial leafy framework and provide good winter drainage.
