Lovage (Levisticum officinale) in P9 pot
Lovage is a vigorous, perennial foliage plant with large, aromatic leaves that have an intense celery-like flavor. It's essential in soups, stews, broths, and herb mixes. It also forms tall, decorative flower clusters that attract bees and other beneficial insects.
The plant can grow to a height of 120–150 cm and develops a sturdy, upright habit. A real eye-catcher in the vegetable or herb garden.
Plant in a sunny to partially shaded spot in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells and harvest the leaves regularly to encourage growth. Hardy and easy to care for.
Organic/non-organic
This planting material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.
Stronger plants, honest photos
Our plants are grown outdoors and are completely winter-hardy. They aren't young greenhouse plants, but stronger, perennials that have been growing for a while and therefore have a well-developed root system. By growing in wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations, they are better hardened, more robust, and adapt more quickly after planting than herbs grown in a warm greenhouse this year. Conservatory plants often look greener and fuller, but are younger and less resilient.
Because our plants follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, they can look bare or less attractive in winter. Many perennials die back (partially) above ground and store their energy underground. Sometimes the pot may seem empty, but don't worry: the strong roots are alive and will ensure the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring.
The photos show what the plants look like in winter, so you get a fair idea of what you'll receive if you order in the spring.
