Lovage for bold, aromatic kitchen gardens
lovage seeds produce a robust, perennial herb valued for its intense, savoury aroma and celery-like character. Also known as maggi plant, this classic culinary herb is grown for its leafy growth that can be used fresh or dried to add depth to soups, stews, broths, meat dishes, and sauces. The plant forms a strong clump and, under suitable conditions, can reach around 80 cm tall, making it a noticeable feature in herb beds and mixed borders.
Botanical name: Levisticum officinale.
Plant habit, flavour profile, and garden placement
This is a perennial herb seed option for gardeners who want a long-lasting seasoning herb with a distinctive, concentrated flavour. Lovage is often chosen for cottage-style gardens, dedicated herb plots, and larger containers where its upright habit can develop well. For best results, place it in a sunny spot and keep the soil evenly moist, as it is typically described as preferring moist soil. If you are looking for perennial lovage seeds for a sunny spot, this variety fits well in culinary gardens where strong, aromatic leaves are appreciated throughout the season.
