Default Caring for winter savory

Generally plants do better in the ground than in pots. Pots are for
if you need to move the plants around (eg to take them inside in the
winter, or move them into an obscure spot while they're not flowering)
or because you can't provide their preferred soil conditions in your garden.



We saw a really pretty blue flowered plant at Waterperry last week. The
'gardener' didn't know what it was, the office didn't know when she
took a photo and phoned it back to them and she suggested either thyme
or rosemary.
Eventually a lovely old lady walked past and said casually that it was
a blue savory. Very pretty and most of the group i was with have
resolved to try and buy a plant!
Needless to say, none in the garden centre attached to the gardens as
ever.

Interseting. Mine is white flowered - I didn't know it came with blue
flowers. Hyssop is what I used to grow for really intensely deep blue
flowers.
