It is a perennial plant growing to tall.〔 The leaves are opposite, oval-lanceolate, 1–2 cm long and 5 mm broad. The flowers are white. ==Cultivation and uses== Easy to grow, it makes an attractive border plant for any culinary herb garden. It requires six hours of sun a day in soil that drains well. ''S. montana 'Nana is a dwarf cultivar. In temperate climates it goes dormant in winter, putting out leaves on the bare stems again in the spring – do not cut the plant back, all those stems which appear dead will leaf out again. It is hardy and has a low bunching habit. Winter savory has been used for hundreds of years. Both it and summer savory have been grown and used, virtually side by side. Both have strong spicy flavour. It goes particularly well with any type of mushroom, or in white sauces, and is very good in potato salads. Small amounts spice a regular salad well. It has a rich herbaceous aroma when crushed. It is used as a companion plant for beans, keeping bean weevils away, and also roses, reducing mildew and aphids.〔(winter savory )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Winter savory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
