Lovage, Levisticum officinale, has a distinct earthy flavour, similar to celery but with hints of spice. This perennial herb has many uses – its leaves roots and seeds are all edible – and it may be used as an ingredient in soups, sauces and stews, as an accompaniment to fish dishes, and to enhance the flavour of pickles.
Lovage is an ornamental herb that works well in garden borders as well as vegetable and herb gardens. In summer umbels of yellow flowers appear, which are extremely attractive to pollinating insects.
Lovage is one of the few herbs that may be grown in partial shade.
