It was hard to get them germinated, it took a long time. When they finally got there, the majority did not survive. It is my experience that lovage is hard to grow. The seller has done a nice job though. I will get some more of the same seeds and keep on trying. A shop I recommend

These seeds are hard to find so I was excited to find them. I even started them in my greenhouse (and directly in my garden) and they never came up.
