Savory Crete
Savory Crete is a hardy, low-growing perennial herb from the Mediterranean, loved for its bold, peppery flavour and ornamental charm. With soft grey-green foliage and delicate pink flowers, it’s both beautiful and practical, perfect for seasoning meats, beans, and stews. Thrives in hot, dry conditions and poor soils, making it ideal for rockeries, herb gardens, and borders. A magnet for bees and a favourite among chefs, this drought-tolerant gem is a must-have for every edible garden.
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.
