About Savory
Savory — summer or winter — is a peppery, thyme-like herb classically paired with beans (hence 'the bean herb'). Easy to grow and a staple of French cooking.
Start indoors 6 weeks before last frost or direct sow after frost. Harvest sprigs as needed; flavor is best before flowering. Winter savory is a hardy perennial.
