Experience the delightful flavor of Summer Savory (Satureja hortensis), an aromatic annual herb known for its peppery taste with a hint of marjoram, thyme, and mint. Valued by cooks worldwide, its dark green leaves can be used fresh or dried to enhance the taste of your meals. Blooming with small white flowers beloved by bees, this herb thrives in full sun and greatly enriches Mediterranean, cottage, or city gardens. Summer Savory features in the famous French culinary blend "Herbes de Provence", and it is commonly used to flavor beans, season meats, and enrich a variety of dishes. It grows to a maximum of 18" high and wide, and prospers in well-drained, moderately fertile and preferably alkaline soils. Planted alongside beans, onions, parsley, rosemary, sage, and tarragon it not only enhances the garden scenery but also repels pests such as cabbage moths, Mexican bean beetles, and black aphids. Harvest before it flowers to get the best flavor, and dry the leaves for use throughout the year. Primarily used in the culinary world, Summer Savory also possesses notable medicinal benefits, particularly for the digestive system.
