Winter Savory is a distinctive herb with a flavor that resembles thyme. Its leaves are thicker and more robust than those of Summer Savory, and they emit a strong aroma. The leaves can be harvested throughout the growing season and utilized either fresh or dried. Commonly used to enhance the flavors of beans, soups, and stews, Winter Savory can also be brewed into tea to alleviate indigestion or used as a gargle to relieve sore throats. This hearty plant grows vigorously and can form a low, boxwood-like border shrub. It thrives in containers and, as a hardy perennial, can be kept indoors over winter to provide fresh leaves year-round. When planted outdoors, it attracts bees, birds, and butterflies.
