What is the plant

The leaves of Summer Savory resemble Thyme, but have the sweet, peppery flavor of Sage and Rosemary! This annual herb originated in east Germany, where it is commonly used to flavor sausage. Try adding leaves to dressings, herb vinegars and oils for a delightful flavor. Sprigs of foliage and flowers look lovely in wreaths, floral arrangements and potpourri. Summer Savory is one of the ingredients used to make herbes de Provence.Perfect for use as a groundcover or in containers and rock gardens. Use to enhance the flavor of poultry, meat, soups or salads. Make a delicious tea by brewing the leaves. Wash fruits, vegetables and herbs thoroughly before eating.
