      Herb Description

      Lovage grew abundantly in the Liguria region of Italy and became an essential ingredient in Italian cooking.  An aromatic herb, Lovage has a celery-like odor and a carrot-like root structure. 

      Most parts of this culinary herb can be used. The leaves have an excellent, warm flavor like a cross between celery and anise, and are delicious with most savory dishes (soups and stews) as well as poultry. The stems are harvested while still young to be used for flavoring primarily in confections. The Lovage stems can be cut in the spring - blanch and eaten as a vegetable. Even the seeds can be harvested and used when ground, as a substitute for salt.

      Once in bloom, Lovage also attracts many beneficial pollinators to your garden with its fragrant blooms! We are proud to offer lovage plants for sale.
