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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 250 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 160 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: April to July (cooler districts)\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: March to May and August to October\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: March to May and September to November\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: September to November\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seed 5 mm deep in a quality seed-raising mix and keep consistently moist.
