Summer savoury (or garden savoury) is a popular seasoning herb native to the Mediterranean region. Often compared with marjoram or thyme, summer savoury has a peculiar spicy aroma and pungent, peppery flavour that’s milder and less penetrating than its cousin, winter savoury. While today, it is a key ingredient in classic French herb blends, such as Herbes de Provence, the Romans used it as an effective substitute for salt (the word savoury actually means ‘having a spicy or salty quality’). Virgil, Shakespeare and famous herbalist Nicholas Culpeper sang the praises of this fragrant and underestimated little plant.   Details Open tab Latin name Satureja hortensis Seeds 300 seeds Name Savoury Variety Summer Short description Spicing up dishes since time began Plant size Height 30 cm Width 30 cm Container size Height 20 cm Width 20 cm Companion plant Lavender, onions, tomatoes, beans How to grow Open tab Sowing Indoor Not required  Outdoor Apr-June Timing Germination 7-15 days Harve
