Description
Levisticum officinale
This intriguing garden companion gives us permission to be a bit too much.
Some of us don’t even bother growing finicky, prima donna celery when we have boisterous, happy-as-a-clam lovage around. Hardy perennial plants will get 10’ tall in flower, so put them somewhere out of the way. Leaves add a celery flavor to soups & stuffing. Young stalks make a unique straw for a bloody Mary. Seeds are great in pickles. Even the roots on this puppy are edible! Every part of the plant makes more of itself than is sensible. Heck yeah, Lovage! We love you!
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 in spring 6-8 weeks before transplanting.
