perennial that looks just like celery

Question

I have a tall perennial that looks just like celery, though it does not spread but gets slowly bigger. Can it be used in tomato drinks as a straw? The stalks are larger, like real celery.

Answer 1

I think your referring to Lovage.

Here is a link about this perennial herb. It is edible and the stems would make a great stir stick in a Bloody Mary!
