Lovage Seeds, Herb, non-GMO, heirloom by Mai's Family

Lovage (Levisticum officinale), also known as Maggi Herb, is a perennial, non-GMO, heirloom herb known for its strong, celery-like flavor and aromatic leaves. It’s commonly used in cooking as a flavoring herb, adding depth to soups, stews, and stocks. Its leaves, stems, and seeds are all edible, and it’s especially popular for seasoning in Mediterranean and European cuisines.

🌱 How to Grow:

• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors in spring after frost danger has passed.
• Plant seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing them about 18-24 inches apart for proper growth.
• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0).
• USDA Zones: 4-9, a hardy perennial that will return year after year.
• Best Time to Plant: Spring, once the soil has warmed.
• Harvest: 90-120 days for full plant growth; leaves and stems can be harvested regularly, and seeds in late summer.

☀️ Plant Care:

• Full sun to partial shade (4-6 hours of sunlight daily) for optimal growth.
• Water regularly, keeping the soil moist, especially in dry conditions.
• Fertilize with compost or organic fertilizers to promote healthy growth.
• Prune regularly to maintain plant shape and prevent overgrowth.
• Protect from extreme cold in winter by mulching around the base.
