Unit price perLevisticum officinale
Lovage is a vigorous, long-lived perennial herb that can reach an impressive 2.5 m in height, forming a handsome clump of deeply divided aromatic foliage. Often described as having a flavour reminiscent of celery with savoury, yeasty undertones, it has been a valued kitchen herb for centuries. The leaves, stems, seeds and roots are all edible, making it one of the most versatile herbs in the garden.
The fresh leaves are used to add depth and richness to soups, broths, casseroles and savoury dishes, while the seeds can be used as a seasoning and the leaves brewed into a fragrant herbal tea. Traditionally, Lovage has also been used in herbal preparations and was even employed as a natural deodorant. Its tall stature and attractive umbels of yellow-green flowers make it an excellent feature plant in herb and cottage gardens.

Water regularly during dry periods and harvest leaves as needed throughout the growing season.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
