Cultivation advice

Sowing

Winter savory is sown in spring. The seeds need light to germinate but do so slowly. 

Spacing

Keep 10-20 cm between the plants.

Harvest

The leaves are harvested in sunny dry weather before blooming. Savory is the bean herb before all else but is also used for seasoning cabbage, lentils, peas, meat and tea. The leaves should not cook along for too long, they grow bitter if they do.
