Celery-leaved Lovage (Seeds)
Ligusticum apiifolium Celery-leaved lovage, also known as parsley-leaved lovage or celery-leaved licorice-root, is a versatile, sweet wildflower with an upright form and anise aroma. Its low-growing, branched stem is coated with stiff short hairs and sports widely triangular, bright-green leaves that are divided into fern-like leaflets. Like its other carrot-family cousins, robust flower stalks rise above the foliage boasting ornate clusters of up to two dozen tiny white star-like flowers, which attract pollinators. This species is very long-lived and rarely grown in nurseries, which makes finding it extra-special!
