Winter Savory-now you're talkin'!
Perennial, easy to grow and over winters well in my supposed zone 5, which I think had some zone 3 and 4 thrown in there this past winter. It is native to southern Europe so your zone would be excellent.
It looks like a thyme plant, more woody than summer savory. It can be hard to find because people don't grow the less well known herbs.
It can stand a good prune for herb use.
I love Winter Savory! I make a root bake with it and Rosemary once a week from fall through spring:
Assorted roots like potato, parsnips, carrot, whole small onion, garlic, jerusalem artichoke, rutabaga and leeks tossed in olive oil, winter savory, rosemary, salt and pepper, covered and roasted in oven for 40 min. Serve with grainy country dijon mustard.
(I really load the savory and rosemary on, which I dry from my garden)
ETA: tastes similar to summer savory.
