When I was at the nursery the other day I bought a start of Lovage. Perhaps 30 years ago, I grew it, and all I remember is that it was perennial, grew over my head (5 feet) and tasted like strong celery. I think we had a time digging it out when I wanted to plant something different there. I **think** I remember it being deeply rooted, but it was at least 25 years ago - so memory is a bit fuzzy...
I looked up Lovage here on the database, then looked on the other site we used to belong to.... there were comments there about it being really invasive. Invasive is not a good word in my garden.
Now I am not sure what to do with it. I planned on putting it in the mixed perennial border, as a tall accent plant that would give me some cuttings for stew etc. It would be in with peony, phlox, daylily, bee balm etc.
Now I am wondering if I should even plant it at all.
I am in Central Ohio. I used to be zone 5 but now they say zone 6 but I don't really believe them.
Thoughts?
