Review & Description

Young leaves taste like celery and are used in spring tonic salads and with potato and poultry dishes. Medicinal: Aromatic stimulant; warming digestive tonic. Roots have similar activity to "Dong Quai". Additional Information: Herbaceous perennial flowering from 4 to 7 feet tall. The leaf stems and leaves, harvested fresh and chopped, make an agreeably aromatic potherb, especially nice to flavor potato-leek soup. The aerial parts may be dried and rubbed through a screen to create seasoning flakes that may be used throughout the winter. The root of this tasty herb is proestrogenic, and may be used as a substitute for Dang-gui (Angelica sinensis), although Lovage is a milder medicine and not as potent in its activity. Still, the herb is well liked by the women folks, and gentle is good. The plant prefers full sun to part shade and moist garden soils. Press seed into surface of soil fall or spring and keep moist until germination, which takes from 1 to 3 weeks. Thin or transplant to 2 feet apart.
