Taxonomy
Common names
Savory, Winter Savory, Perennial SavoryHow to care for Savory
Difficulty
Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Savory due to its easy-going nature.
Water
Savory should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Lighting
Savory thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Perennial Savory.
Dormancy
During the wintertime, it's common for Savory to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
