summer savoury is better flavoured than winter, good with beans, stops the wind ;D

I grow winter savoury as it is very useful in the winter for flavouring soups and stews. It is a small shrubby looking perenial with woody stems. Many herb patches ago I grew both winter and summer from seed. Summer Savoury is an annual and was very tasty but I prefer the Winter Savoury as it just needs a little trim every year and you have a plant for quite a long time.

My current plant came from a local garden centre. If you have trouble finding it I can send you a soft wood cutting when the plant sends out new growth later in the year.
