Summer Savory: from autumn pantry to spring sowing
A practical bridge between the herb you can cook with now and the seeds you can plan to grow when spring returns.
Use dried leaves now
Try the savoury, peppery herb with beans, lentils, soups, stews, vegetables, poultry or stuffing. Start modestly and adjust to taste.
Sow seeds in spring
Sow shallowly, transplant after frost danger, and choose full sun with moist, well-drained soil. Clip leafy tops as buds begin.
CHOOSE THE FORMAT THAT FITS THE JOB
Seeds, dried leaves and live plants solve different jobs
- Seeds
- For planning and growing a full crop from the beginning.
- Dried leaves
- For the pantry when you want to cook with Summer Savory now.
- Live plants
- Only choose this route when a seller currently confirms the plant, delivery area and timing.
