Germination takes about 2 weeks. This herb likes moisture and sun, but in the hottest areas, afternoon shade is appreciated. Mulching will help cool the soil and keep it moist. Give 2 feet between plants and cut off the flower stems if seed is not being collected and if reseeding is not desired. This practice promotes fresh leaf growth. Once plants have died in the fall, cut to the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYou can harvest lovage foliage when it has reached about a foot tall.
