notes
The leaves of Winter Savory have a peppery, spicy flavour, and are often used in lentil or bean dishes. The woody perennial bears small white or pale pink flowers in summer and prefers a sunny position in light, chalky, well-drained soil. 
Insights

Grown in peat free compost in a biodegradable pot made from waste coir and natural latex. Remove plant from pot or cut/tear away some of the coir if the plant is well rooted and hard to remove.
