Description
Summer savory is a fast-growing annual herb with narrow leaves, slender stems, and a peppery, thyme-like flavor long paired with beans. Its fragrance is warm and clean, making it useful in soups, stuffings, sausages, roasted vegetables, herb butters, and simple pot meals.
Plants stay modest and productive, fitting neatly into herb beds, containers, and vegetable rows. Harvest leafy stems before flowering for the best flavor, then dry a bundle for winter cooking. It is an old-fashioned kitchen herb with more usefulness than its quiet appearance suggests.
