(Levisticum officinale)
Lovage is a bold, aromatic perennial herb prized for its rich, celery‑like flavour and impressive garden presence. A traditional cottage‑garden favourite, lovage produces lush green foliage on tall, sturdy plants that return year after year once established.
Often described as a more intense version of celery with hints of parsley and anise, lovage is a powerful culinary herb — a small amount goes a long way. The leaves are especially valued for flavouring soups, stocks, stews, and savoury dishes, making lovage a kitchen essential for cool‑season cooking.
In the garden, lovage is hardy, long‑lived, and generous, forming a large clump that can be harvested regularly through the growing season. Its height and fresh green foliage also make it an attractive backdrop in herb beds and mixed plantings.
