By mid-summer it produces small white, pink, or lilac flowers with seeds forming shortly after.Often compared to marjoram or thyme, summer savory has a spicy aroma and pungent, peppery flavor that's milder and less penetrating than its cousin, winter savory. It's a key ingredient in classic herb blends like bouquet garni and fines herbes.
