Great looking and tasty, lovage is a very worthwhile herb to grow. Almost every part of it is useful. The leaves add flavour to soups, stews, salads and potato dishes. You can cook the roots and eat them as a vegetable or chop them into salads. You can blanch the stems and cook them and you can even candy the stalks or simply enjoy the flavour of the leaves as a tea. With all these uses, and good looks too, lovage should be in every herb garden – including yours!
The ease with which you’ll germinate lovage is indicated by its tendency to self-seed. Sow this perennial in spring or summer, cover to no more than 5mm, and keep moist until germination. Thereafter, it will tolerate a little more drying out.
How to Harvest
Snip or pinch off leaves. To blanch stems, bundle them up in newspaper or pile some light mulch around them. As for the root, there’s only one way to get at that! Loosen the soil with a garden fork, then pull!
Very economical and quick to germinate in right conditions.
