Product Abstract: This large perennial herb can grow up to 6 feet (2 meters) high. A hollow stem and thick, dense ornamental foliage are characteristic of this plant. Brought to the British Isles by the Romans, Lovage is one of the old English herbs that were commonly cultivated as a sweet herb, its reputation being founded largely on its pleasing aromatic odour. Until Victorian times it was used much like celery and asparagus in cooking, with its stems candied and seeds strewn on pastries, but also as a medicinal plant.
