Lovage (Levisticum officinale) Perennial. A tall addition to the herb garden, lovage is often placed at the back of the herbaceous border. Hollow stems are covered with the dark green leaves that look a bit like coarse celery. During June and July, an ornamental umbel of greeny yellow flowers appear, with a similar appearance to parsnip and fennel. Lovage is a stimulant with similar reactions to angelica, to which is related. In traditional Chinese medicine, a related plant, Levisticum chinensis is used to relieve pre menstrual tension.
