Product description
Savory Creeping is a potted herb with a low, creeping, mat forming habit. This evergreen plant is great for providing small, dense groundcover, and it looks particularly beautiful in summer when tiny, white flowers pepper the foliage, contrasting with the deep green leaves.
The leaves of Savory Creeping can be used fresh or dried on a variety of culinary dishes. It has a strong, spicy flavour which becomes milder the more it is cooked, and it also works well as a salt substitute. It adds great flavour to meat but will add delicious flavour to beans and pulses.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Snip stems back regularly to prevent the plant from becoming straggly.
How to Water
Water regularly, especially during particularly dry spells. Ground planted savory is drought-tolerant once established, but pot-grown plants need to be watered more often.
How to Plant
Choose a sheltered spot in full sun and plant savory in the ground or in containers in well-draining soil. Hold off planting until late spring or early summer and leave around 20cm between plants.
