Lovage seeds produce a tall, perennial herb known for its upright growth and deeply divided green foliage. The plant forms sturdy stems and develops into a large clump over time, making it suitable for herb gardens, borders, and kitchen gardens. It prefers cool to moderate climates and grows well in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Lovage establishes reliably and returns each season in suitable climates, offering steady vegetative growth throughout the growing period.
