About This Plant

Winter Savory is a perennial, semi-evergreen herb prized for its pungent, peppery flavor with notes of pine and sage. It is more bitter than its summer counterpart and is traditionally used to season heartier meat and root vegetable dishes. It is a slow-growing herb that is well-suited for hydroponic cultivation, provided its high pH preference is maintained.
