Lovage
(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.
🌿 Why Grow Lovage
- Strong, aromatic celery‑like flavour
- Classic herb for soups, stocks & slow cooking
- Hardy perennial — returns year after year
- Productive plant with generous leaf harvests
- Traditional cottage‑garden herb

🌱 Growing Notes

- Soil: Rich, moist, well‑drained soil
- Height: Can reach 1.5–2 m when mature

Lovage likes space to grow and rewards the patient gardener with years of flavour and abundance.

Organic Carrot Seeds – Home Garden Harvest
These organic carrot seeds were harvested from my own home garden. I had way more carrots than I could count, so I made up some very generous seed packets to share!
Each packet contains approximately 1.5 grams of seed — aka LOTS of seeds. As many gardeners know, carrots can be a little tricky to start from seed (trust me, I still find them challenging sometimes!). That’s why this is the perfect packet for experimenting: plenty of seeds so you can sow, resow, and try a few times without stress… lol.
Great for home gardeners, beginners, or anyone who likes having extra seed on hand for success.
Happy planting 🌱🥕
