| | Savory |
 | | There are actually two different Savories, Summer Savory, pictured above, which is an attractive trailing annual with pale green leaves that grows to about 18 inches, and Winter Savory, pictured below, which is a woody perennial with thick, tough, and bright green leaves and grows to about 15 inches. |
 | | Savory is native to the Mediterranean, but has naturalized throughout North America. |
 | | Winter Savory has a stronger, more piney flavor, and is mainly used with strong game meats, and (because of the toughness of the leaves) in dishes that take a long time to cook, such as soups, stews, and for seasoning dried beans. |
