Lovage - Levisticum officinale

Lovage is a tall perennial herb with a unique flavor that cannot be replicated. It is easy to grow and care for, making it a popular choice for gardeners. The plant has large leaves and umbels of greenish-yellow flowers. Lovage is versatile in the kitchen and has been used for hundreds of years in English gardens. All parts of the plant, including the seeds, leaves, and roots, are used. It is known for its medicinal qualities and has been used as a diuretic, antimicrobial, and may induce menstruation, although further clinical studies are needed to confirm its benefits. When growing lovage, it's recommended not to take more than half of the leaves at a time and to prune the plant to promote air circulation. If the plant bolts and develops a flower stalk, it's advised to cut this off unless you want the plant to flower and set seed. Lovage can also be propagated through root division, and it's important to ensure that enough of the roots are kept intact for the plant to thrive after replanting. Overall, lovage is an underappreciated herb that's easy to grow and has various uses in the kitchen and potentially for medicinal purposes.
