How to Grow
Sow seed directly outdoors in a sunny site with average soil in mid-to-late May or from mid-August through to early September. Seed can also be started indoors in a soil-less mix 6-8 weeks before last frost date – use plantable peat or paper pots, as lovage does not transplant well. Keep temperature at 21° C for the 10-20 day germination period, then grow on at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside after the danger of frost has passed. Sow seed 6 mm deep and 7.5 cm apart then thin to 60-90 cm apart in the garden.
