Summer Savory is a hardy annual that has slender pinnate leaves with small white flowers tinged with mauve. It has a slight peppery taste and is a useful alternative to sage or thyme.
Summer Savory is a good companion plant next to Broad beans as it is thought to ward away black fly & also help aid digestion of beans afterwards.
Summer Savory is very pretty if allowed to flower but these will be to the detriment of its taste.

How:
|
Sow undercover in a propagator (February-May) at 18°C. Water carefully. Germination usually takes 14-21 days. Be careful not to overwater seedlings as they are prone to 'damping off'. When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant into 9cm pots and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to transplant outside. Space plants 35cm apart.
