How to grow
Savory Crete thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, especially in hot, dry spots where other herbs struggle. It’s perfect for rockeries, pots, and herb gardens. Plant in a position with good air circulation and avoid overly rich soil to maintain its compact form and strong flavour. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, just trim lightly after flowering to encourage fresh growth. Ideal for Mediterranean-style gardens and a reliable performer year after year.
