LOVAGE SEEDS (Levisticum officinale)

QTY: 200 seeds

Although it resembles celery, lovage is actually in the carrot family. It has a high salt content, and its stalks and stems are best when used in carbohydrate-rich dishes like pasta and potatoes.

Before Planting: Direct sow seeds five to six weeks before the last frost date.

Planting: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and dust a light covering of sand over.

Watering: Water regularly.

Fertilizer: Fertilize regularly with liquid fertilizer.

Days to Maturity: Lovage will begin to bloom in the early summer and continue blooming through late summer.

Harvesting: All parts of the lovage herb are harvestable. Its leaves can be added to salads, roots can be dug up after the season is over to be used as a vegetable and stems can replace celery.
