Winter Savoury is a perennial plant which looks like thyme, though it's flavour is a bit different.
It has a prostrate form, so you can grow it in a herb garden or at the front of a border, or in a rock garden. It is a low plant, and it also covers well, so you can use it as a ground-cover plant. In cooking, Winter Savoury can be used in salads, though sparingly, as it has quite a strong flavour. You can also use it when cooking pulses - a lot of Italian dishes use it - but should be used at the start of the cooking process.
It's very good when used in stuffing, infusing with oil and with any lamb dishes. A not very common and quite underrated herb, which apparently is very good for flatulence......
