There are two types of savory - summer savory (Satureja hortensis) is an annual and winter savory (Satureja montana) is perennial. Creeping and lemon, mint and thyme-scented species are also available. I think I have plain old winter savory, although it came from a market simply labeled as "savory".

How to grow winter savory
Savory grows similar to thyme and rosemary, it grows well in full sun with well-drained soil. It is propagated by root division or cuttings.
How to use winter savory
To me it tastes similar to thyme, and I have been using it as I use thyme and rosemary - to flavour casseroles and roasts. I have cut some to dry, and I also use it fresh.
Medicinally, I haven't found much information about winter savory. It seems to be quite similar to thyme and rosemary - good for respiratory conditions, antiseptic and digestion.
