Winter savoury is a perennial herb (lives for more than one year) growing to about 40cm tall.This is an unusual herb which can be used in a similar way to sage or thyme and is said to have a sweet flavour and a delicate aroma. It can be used in most cooked dishes and also fresh in salads but also has purported medicinal uses - rubbing a sprig onto a wasp or bee sting is said to give instant relief. It also produces white little flowers which are a delightful garden feature. Excellent companion plant to beans and roses as it deters weevils and aphids.
