as the classic 'bean herb,' it is a wonderfully aromatic addition to any culinary garden. Who it's for Perfect for cooks who prepare beans, lentils, and hearty stews, and gardeners wanting a quick, easy annual herb for beds and containers. How & when to plant Direct-sow after your last frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks earlier; seeds need light, so barely cover them. Space plants 8–10 inches apart in full sun with average, well-drained soil. Grown as a warm-season annual across USDA zones 3–10, summer savory is quick to establish and appreciates consistent moisture while young. Harvest Leaves are ready to snip in about 60–70 days, with the best flavor just as the plants begin to flower. Cut whole sprigs and harvest often to keep plants bushy; savory dries easily for winter use. Benefits & uses Summer savory is the traditional seasoning for green and dried beans, lentils, soups, sausages, and herb blends like herbes de Provence. Its peppery, slightly minty flavor also complements eggs, poultry, and roasted vegetables. Growing guide: New to this variety?
