Savory
Savory, the common name for several aromatic herbs and low shrubs native to the warm regions of Europe and North Africa. The plants usually grow to a height of five inches to three feet (13 to 90 cm) or more and have a square stem. The flowers may be pink, purple, or white. Two species commonly cultivated in the United States are summer savory and winter savory. They are grown chiefly for their leaves, which are used as a flavoring. Occasionally they are cultivated as border plants.
Summer savory is Satureja hortensis; winter savory is S. montana. Both belong to the mint family, Labiatae.
