The winter savory can be propagated by seed, by plant division or cuttings.
Seeds can be sown directly in the garden, or seedlings, small pots or cups made of newspapper, making transplanting between 4 and 7 weeks after germination. The seeds are small and must be sown on the soil surface and be covered with a light sieved soil or thin layer of sawdust. Germination generally takes one to three weeks.
To spread the savory by cuttings, cut the branches and remove the leaves leaving only the closest to the branch end. Plant it in pots, keeping the soil moist until rooting.
The spacing of the plants should be about 45 cm.
It can easily be grown in planters and pots.
It is important to remove weeds that are consuming their nutrients and resources.
Although in the case of a perennial, the plants should be divided and replanted every 3 or 4 years.
