Satureja montana is known as a sweet smelling, hardy, perennial herb in the mint family.

Its common name is Winter Savory or Mountain Savory (or Sariette des Montagnes).

Gardening Tips

In Bulgaria, you grind the herb with paprika and salt and serve it in a little bowl as a condiment to the main dishes.
The plant will go dormant in the winter but do not cut down the stems! Fresh leaves will sprout from them the following spring.
Make sure the soil is well-draining and the sun shines as the roots do not handle humidity well.
The Botany
The Myth

There is evidence that it was used by the Greeks and Romans over 2000 years ago.

It was said then that summer savory (the sister) was an aphrodisic, and that mountain savory was an anaphorisiac.

You can guess which one was more popular in the day...

The essential oil of this plant is one of the most powerful used in aromatherapy today. It needs to be used under the supervision of a professional as the risks can be great.
