How to grow winter savory

Satureja montana

When to plant winter savory

Plant winter savory in spring in a full-sun spot with sharply drained soil, since it tends to rot over winter in poorly drained ground (Illinois). It is a woody, semi-evergreen perennial; prune out old woody stems to keep young growth vigorous.

Winter Savory is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
