Satureja hortensis
Une plante aromatique annuelle vigoureuse et buissonnante de la famille des lamiacées (Lamiaceae), originaire du sud-est de l'Europe jusqu'à l'Asie occidentale. NC State Extension décrit une plante dressée à tiges multiples d'environ 1.5 feet de hauteur et 1-3 feet de large, avec des feuilles linéaires, parsemées de glandes, aromatiques et vert foncé, et de petites fleurs estivales lilas, roses ou blanches. Sa croissance est rapide — elle peut être récoltée en quelques mois après le semis — et elle est prisée pour sa saveur douce, légèrement poivrée. Cultivée comme annuelle de saison chaude, elle demande plein soleil et un excellent drainage, et se comporte mal en sol humide ou à l'ombre.

2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
