Lovage is an essential member of any kitchen herb collection. Crushed seeds are used in bread, leaves chopped and sprinkled on salads, mash potato, omelettes and lots more. A little goes a very long way. Leaves can be used in tea. It is not a shy herb, and will offer a citrusy zing when used. 

The word Lovage is an old English name for 'Love Parsley'. 

Levisticum officinale 
Lovage is a large perennial herb growing up to 2 meters, with hollow stems and large dark green celery-like leaves. Prefers moist but well drained soil, either in full or partial sun. 

Pot sizes explained

At Newlands Nursery we grow and sell plants in a variety of different sizes, from small starter plants up to planted containers. 

We know it can be tricky to picture the size of each plant. This page gives you an idea of the size of the plants we are sending out.

Please keep in mind that plants vary from one season to the next. The size of the plant refers to the pot or plug it is grown in, rather than the height of the plant, unless specifically mentioned on the plant page.

Starter Plant (Plug Plant)

Plug Size: 2cm by 4cm. Our most popular size. This is often the most economical way of buying plants and is a great way to get a head start on the season. Generally this size is best to be potted up before planting out.

Jumbo Plug

Plug Size: 6cm by 7cm. A fantastic alternative to a 9cm pot and saves on plastic too. The plants in this size are well established and give you a head start. This size is perfect for planting straight into containers and baskets as well as the garden.

9cm pot

    About the Lovage

    Care Instructions

    Lovage enjoys a well drained open compost making sure that the plant does not sit wet. Once you've potted the plants on it'll take them a little while to settle into their new home but after a few days or weeks you should start seeing some fresh growth.

    Position, sunlight and more

    Lovage will grow in full sun, but partial shade is preferable.

    Height and Spread

    Lovage, if left untamed will reach up to 180cm.

    Feeding, Pruning & more

    Feeding - A phosphorus/potassium feed is helpful.
    Pruning - Prune regularly to encourage bushiness.
    Propagation - Cuttings are quite reliable.
