Once you discover winter savory in the kitchen, you’ll be chucking it in everything! It’s highly aromatic and similar to rosemary and hyssop in appearance. It has a peppery, thyme like flavour and suits cooking in stews, casseroles and sauces. Winter savory is a hardy, evergreen perennial and once established is pretty bullet proof. Suited to pots on a sunny patio or windowsill, it will delight with pretty, nectar rich flowers in summer. Winter savory will be happy growing in our pot on a sunny windowsill until it needs potting on.

Where have all the butterflies gone? The sight of buddleia bushes pulsating with masses of vibrant species seems like a childhood memory. Unfortunately, it’s not nostalgic rose-tintedness, there’s been an 80% reduction in UK butterflies since the 1970’s. Hopefully times are changing, with fewer pesticides used and rewilding being encouraged. These herbs will do their bit.
Chamomile - Roman
With its flat white petals and fuzzy golden cones of nectar rich flowers, chamomile makes a perfect landing pad and feeding station for a number of butterfly species, especially smaller ones.
Chive
This early flowering herb is one of the 10 most nectar producing plants in the UK. A butterfly magnet which will grow almost anywhere and is particularly suited a pot on a sunny patio.
Dill
Dill is a fantastic herb for late butterflies as it can flower into autumn. If you’re really lucky, in warmer southern climes you may be rewarded by a visiting European Swallowtail, whose caterpillars will eat the leaves.
Marjoram - sweet
Marjoram produces masses of small flowers in upright clusters which are ideal for butterflies. Deadhead regularly, the flowers may last into autumn - providing valuable energy for hibernation or migration.
Lavender - Hidcote
The tall spikes with dense flower heads packed together at the end, provide a bountiful feeding opportunity for a number of species including Small Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral and Peacock.
Rosemary - Miss Jessop’s Upright
Woody, shrubby herbs like rosemary not only provide lots of nectar but also places to shelter over winter. Rosemary’s early flowers will give awakening butterflies a welcome feed after winter dormancy.
