Chefs generally prefer S. hortensis (summer savory - an annual) to S. montana (winter savory - perennial) because of its superior flavour.

It should also be noted that the culinary use of savory is not confined to the flavouring of beans: it goes well with chicken and lamb as well - and may be added with advantage to a bouquet garni of sweet herbs for many purposes. (See the book by Tom Stobart: "Herbs, Spices and Flavourings".)
