Lovage Seeds

Lovage tastes like celery turned up a few notches. A big, hardy perennial, it can reach 6 ft. tall and comes back reliably for many years once established. Use the leaves in soups and stews, the hollow stems as straws for a Bloody Mary, and the seeds as a spice. One or two plants supply plenty for most kitchens. Sow in spring and give it rich, moist soil.
