Winter Savory Seeds (Satureja montana)

Winter Savory (Satureja montana) is a hardy perennial herb known for its strong fragrance, evergreen leaves, and compact, woody growth habit. Unlike Summer Savory, this cold-tolerant variety returns year after year and thrives in sunny, well-drained soils. Its deep green foliage forms a neat, bushy mound with small white flowers appearing in warm seasons.

Naturally Non-GMO and low maintenance, Winter Savory performs well in containers, raised beds, rocky borders, and outdoor garden plots. Excellent for gardeners who want a durable, aromatic perennial that withstands cool climates and poor soil conditions while providing continuous leafy regrowth.
