Traditionally, lovage supports digestion, relieves bloating, and acts as a diuretic to promote kidney health. Its leaves and seeds are also used as a culinary spice, while the roots may be brewed into teas for their warming, soothing properties.

How To Grow
GROWER TIP: For lovage, a period of stratification can benefit germination. Place the seed in between a damp paper towel, and then place in a zipper bag in the fridge for 4 weeks prior to sowing. Sow in CowPots for 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Transplant or direct sow when temperatures are over 65F. Due to the size of the plants, we recommend growing in the garden versus in pots.
