Winter Savory Plants

Satureja montana

Winter Savory, like its Summer counterpart, is a spicy culinary herb from the Mint family that compliments fish, beans and poultry with its intense flavor. Though it loses some of this intensity during the cooking process, Winter Savory remains aromatic and is often used to flavor liqueurs and makes a beautiful garnish to any salad.

Producing a bushier habit and woodier stem than the Summer Savory, Winter Savory grows well in substandard, rocky soil and requires little water. If given too rich a soil or too much water, it won't grow as strong and tends not to survive as well through colder temperatures.

Though not used as often medicinally, Winter Savory is said to possess antiseptic, carminative and expectorant properties. Made into tea form, Winter Savory has been used to treat bronchial and digestive problems. Used externally, this herb's essential oils are said to be an instant relief to bee stings and bug bites and was also once used to treat arthritis and baldness.
