MeadowSweet Herbs & Flowers Nursery and Herb Education Centre is now closed for orders from 16 December 2025 until mid-January 2026 while I take a short festive break.

Thank you for your continued support of my small, home-based nursery throughout the past year. I look forward to helping you grow plants for your kitchen, garden, and herbal home remedies cupboard when I reopen in the new year.

Savory – Lemon

$8.50

This EVERGREEN SHRUB grows to 30cm and has upright growing stems with thyme like leaves with a highly aromatic lemon scent.
Prefers full sun in a well-drained soil and can grow in nutritionally poor soil or very alkaline soil. It is drought-tolerant.

Description

The leaves are used as a condiment either fresh or dried, raw or cooked. With a slight lemon peppery flavour, they are stronger in flavour than summer savory. Mostly used in cooked foods, especially well paired with beans.
Similar medicinal actions to summer savory – being a good digestive herb, antiseptic, aromatic, carminative, and mildly expectorant and stomachic. It relieves wasp stings.
The growing plant repels insects.
