How to grow lovage

Levisticum officinale

When to plant lovage

Plant lovage from seed or division in spring or fall (Illinois). It is a large, vigorous hardy perennial that prefers fairly rich, moist soil; light shade improves its quality.

Lovage is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
