Lovage is a large perennial herb with divided celery-like leaves and tall flower stalks.
A space where it can thrive
Grow as a cultivated garden crop in a bed or suitably sized container. The illustrated nursery pot is a presentation, not a recommendation for the mature plant’s root space.
Ask about availabilityAvailability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Your care routine
Watering
Maintain moderate moisture, especially for new plants and during dry summer periods.
Soil & drainage
A deep, fertile permanent bed for its substantial roots.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Sow or transplant into a site with generous room; mature plants can spread widely and develop a deep taproot.
Harvest
Cut young leaves before the plant sends up its large flowering stems.
Through the seasons
Allow room for a tall perennial plant. Divide only when needed and mulch the root zone rather than covering the crown.
When your plant needs help
- Choose a permanent deep bed with plenty of room; pick leaves before tall flower stems dominate.
Pets & little ones
