Lovage a Mediterranean plant, is a beautiful hardy perennial herb belonging to Umbelliferae, the same family as angelica and carrot. A tall addition to the herb garden looking like giant celery, lovage is often placed at the back of the herbaceous border. Lovage seeds, leaves and stems have a similar flavour to celery and can be used in soups, salads and rice dishes and Lovage tea can be made from the dried leaves creating a very agreeable aroma.
