Mark Anderson expounded:

I just bought a Lovage herb seedling from the garden store. I've been
looking for herbs that grow tall and big and the label said that this
will grow 40" in height. After reading about it on the web it seems what
I'm looking for but it also looks a lot like Cilantro. Last year when I
grew Cilantro, that plant petered out around July. I need something that
will have nice foliage into autumn. Does anyone have experience with
growing this herb?


Lovage is a perennial, cilantro is a fast growing annual. I've grown
lovage for years. It frequently gets higher than 40". It's great in
potato salad, tastes like celery.
