Satureja spicigera, the creeping savory, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae.[3] It is native to northeastern Turkey, the Caucasus, and northwestern Iran.[2] A perennial prostrate shrub, hardy in USDA zones 6 through 9, it is recommended as an edging plant for rock and herb gardens.[1] Used as a culinary herb, both fresh and dried, its flavor is similar to winter savory, Satureja montana, as it is stronger than summer savory, Satureja hortensis.[4][5]
