Winter Leaf Savory is easily pruned, which makes for a great container plant; also good for small gardens. Leaves, buds, and flowers are edible and can be used for teas, poultices, infusions, and gargles. This plant can handle any amount of sun or shade and is wonderful for bees and butterflies. Outdoors, plant to attract pollinators to the vegetable garden or as a patio plant for the fragrance the leaves give off as you brush by. Indoors, keep as a low water use fragrant houseplant that can be harvested at any time for medicinal use or as a fresh leaf tea. It grows up to 24″ high and spreads to 24″ in diameter. The plant is native to the Middle East. Photo courtesy of Hishtil.
