Lovage

Levisticum officinale

Hardy perennial, much easier to grow than celery, but with similar flavor.

We don’t even bother growing celery when we have easy, happy lovage around. Makes a fantastic addition to soups, stews, and stuffings. Young stalks make a unique straw for Bloody Mary's, too! Harvest stalks in spring when they are about 1-2' tall and use fresh in your dishes as you would celery. Established plants will get 6-10’ tall seed stalks, so plant them out of the way. Bees love the flowers in summer!

Seeds grown by Earthly Delights Farm in Boise, Idaho.

200 seeds.

Directions: Direct seed in spring or fall for germination the following spring or start indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting
