Lovage Seeds
Start Lovage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-sow them in spring or fall. To improve germination, perform cold stratification by placing seeds in a moist paper towel, sealing them in a plastic bag or container, and refrigerating for 2-3 weeks before sowing.
Since lovage seeds have a generally low germination rate, sow 3-5 seeds per pot or cell at a depth of 1/4 inch (6 mm). Keep the soil moist until germination, which usually occurs in 10-14 days. Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant seedlings to a sunny location, spacing plants 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) apart to allow for their mature size.
Following these steps will help you establish healthy, productive lovage plants that will thrive year after year.
