San Miguel savory is an aromatic  low growing perennial shrub for shady areas.  It grows well in containers and has a creeping habit  not reaching heights above 1? and spreading at least 3?.  San Miguel savory looks very lush and full  covering the ground with overlapping oval  medium green leaves.  Small white flowers appear in spring and summer  and the fragrant leaves are reminiscent of mint  which it is related to.  Found in the wild in chaparral and oak woodlands  it would be an excellent choice for groundcover in a shaded or semi shaded place  and looks lovely cascading off a wall or edge of a planter.  A good dose of water twice a month in summer will keep San Miguel savory looking its best; it is hardy down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.  This is an especially rare native in California  listed by the California Native Plant Society as endangered in our state.  Give this botanical jewel a home in your backyard or patio  and enjoy the aesthetic appearance and refreshing aroma of its attractive foliage.
