'''''Satureja''''' is a [[genus]] of aromatic [[plant]]s of the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Lamiaceae]], related to [[rosemary]] and [[thyme]]. There are about 30 [[species]] called '''savories''', of which [[Summer savory]] and [[Winter savory]] are the most important in cultivation. ''Satureja'' species are native to warm temperate regions and may be [[annual plant|annual]] or [[perennial plant|perennial]]. They are low-growing [[herb]]s and [[subshrub]]s, reaching heights of 15–50 cm. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 1 to 3 cm long, with [[flower]]s forming in whorls on the stem, white to pale pink-violet. Savories need sun and well-drained soil. {{Inc| Savory. Sweet-herbs. Summer savory is Satureia hortensis of the Labiatae. Cultivated in kitchen-gardens for its aromatic green parts, which are gathered in midsummer for flavoring meat, dressings, and other culinary preparations. The slender, erect, branching, herbaceous stems, 10 to 12 inches tall, bear soft narrow green leaves and in summer clusters of pink, purplish or white flowers, which are followed by brown ovoid seeds whose vitality lasts three years. Propagation is by means of seed, which is sown in drills 12 to 18 inches apart in April or May in light, mellow, well-drained loam of moderate richness. When 2 to 3 inches tall the plants are thinned to 5 or 6 inches asunder, or for early crop they may be transplanted from hotbeds sown in March. Winter savory (S. montana) is a hardy European perennial species, having much the qualities of the annual, but with woody, slender, very branching stems 12 to 16 inches tall, narrow, very acute leaves, white, pink or lilac flowers and brown seeds, whose average vitality is three years. It may be managed like thyme. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== Selected species: [[Image:Satureja mexicana 2.jpg|thumb|right|''[[Satureja mexicana]]'']] * ''[[Satureja acinos]]'' * ''[[Satureja alpina]]'' * ''[[Satureja coerulea]]'' * ''[[Satureja cuneifolia]]'' * ''Satureja douglasii'' – [[Yerba Buena]] (syn.
