What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Lovage Seeds grow into a bold, long-lived perennial herb prized for its strong, savory flavor and impressive size. Often described as a more intense version of celery, lovage also carries subtle notes of anise and cumin, making it a distinctive addition to soups, stocks, and savory dishes. Once established, this heirloom herb becomes a reliable, high-yield staple in the garden.

Originating in Europe, lovage is easy to grow and matures quickly, with harvests beginning around 90 days. Mature plants can reach 5–6 feet tall, producing an abundance of aromatic green foliage suitable for fresh use or drying for long-term storage. In addition to the leaves, the roots can be cooked as a vegetable, and the seeds may be harvested and ground into a flavorful spice.

Large, Productive Perennial Herb:

  • Fast-growing perennial with early harvests
  • Reaches 5–6 feet tall at maturity
  • Produces abundant leaves for fresh or dried use
  • Long-lived plant once established

Why Customers Love Lovage:

  • Unique flavor with celery, anise, and cumin notes
  • Highly productive from a single plant
  • Multiple usable parts: leaves, roots, and seeds
  • Excellent for soups, stocks, and savory recipes

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow lovage seeds in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Lovage prefers space to grow due to its mature size and benefits from regular harvesting to encourage fresh leaf production.

Leaves can be used fresh or dried for storage. Harvest roots at the end of the growing season if desired, and allow some plants to flower and set seed for spice use or reseeding.
