Levisticum officinale - A tall, robust herb with a strong, celery-like flavour and vigorous, upright growth habit. Use its fresh leaves and long hollow stems in soups, broths, and stews, or as a flavorful addition to salads and stocks. Prefers full sun and rich, well-drained soil and develops into a large, imposing plant; keep its size in mind when planning the herb garden. Good companion for brassicas and potatoes, where it can contribute beneficial diversity. With a rich celery character suited to bold dishes, lovage has been cultivated and used since Roman times both as a vegetable and as a traditional herbal remedy.
Key Uses: Soups, broths, stews, fresh leaves and stems.
Growing conditions: Full sun, rich soil, large plant size.
Companion notes: Good near brassicas and potatoes.
