Lovage is a towering perennial herb, often reaching four to six feet, with dark green celery-like leaves and thick hollow stalks that all taste intensely of celery and parsley with a peppery edge. It is one of the oldest culinary herbs in the cottage garden and earns its space as both a striking ornamental and a workhorse in the kitchen. Plant it once at the back of a bed and it will feed your soup pot for years.
Sow lovage seeds about a quarter-inch deep in full sun to part shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil, ideally using fresh seed for best germination. Seedlings emerge in two to three weeks; give each plant plenty of room, around 24 to 36 inches, as they grow large. Harvest leaves and stems from the second year onward, and the plant matures fully by its second season. For the complete method on sowing, dividing, and harvesting, read our complete guide to growing lovage from seed.
Every part of lovage is edible and intensely savory. Use the leaves like celery in soups, stocks, stews, and salads, hollow the stems to use as aromatic straws in a Bloody Mary, and grind the dried seeds as a celery-flavored spice for breads and pickles. It has also traditionally been brewed into digestive teas. A little goes a long way, so start with small amounts and adjust to taste.
Lovage shares the kitchen with other bold, savory herbs. Pair it with celery, parsley, and dill for a soup-and-stock garden, or explore our full selection of herb seeds to round out your culinary beds.
