Winter savory (Satureja montana)
Perennial herb with small leathery green leaves resembling large needles. It produces small pink or white flowers that are very popular with pollinators. The winter savory has a slightly less pronounced taste than the summer savory but supports more thorough cooking than the latter. It has a subtly peppery flavor which makes it excellent for enhancing dishes of all kinds. Can be used fresh or dried. To dry the leaves, you can harvest them just before flowering and thus have a stronger taste.
