Care essentials
Grow in full sun to partial shade; this Florida native thrives in bright, open conditions near water features, wet edges, or moist garden beds.
Keep soil consistently moist to wet; Browne's Savory is a wetland plant that will not survive in areas that dry out — it excels at pond margins, bog gardens, and wet containers.
Plant in moist to wet sandy or loamy soil; little fertilizer is needed — topdress with compost annually to maintain soil moisture retention and light nutrient supply.
