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.
