Satureja hortensis
Summer savory 'Midget' is a compact variety. This fast-growing annual provides an abundant supply of leaves, growing quickly to a height of about 25cm (10"), with slender bronze green leaves and rose-white tubular flowers blooming from July to September. This herb has leaves that are so tender they can be added fresh to salads or used as a garnish. It is used in herb combinations, such as ‘Herbes de Provence’ and brings out the best in stews and vegetable dishes. It also shines as a seasoning for roasting meats, fowl, and fish. Bottling it in vinegar will preserve the fresh, summery flavor.
