Description
Grow beautiful Angelica from seed and add a striking herb to your garden. Angelica (Angelica archangelica) is a tall, aromatic herb with many traditional uses. It takes its name from an angel who revealed its virtues of protection from infection to a monk. It is usually biennial, although plants can sometimes live longer. This impressive plant can reach around two metres in height. Its tall, statuesque appearance makes Angelica an eye-catching addition to herb gardens.
The plant is easy to grow and particularly enjoys damp ground. Angelica also self-seeds readily when growing conditions are suitable. This makes it an excellent choice for naturalistic and wildlife-friendly garden planting.
Angelica offers ornamental appeal alongside traditional culinary uses. All parts of the plant have a subtle, distinctive aroma. The leaves, seeds, and roots have all been used traditionally. Angelica is particularly interesting for gardeners who enjoy unusual culinary herbs. Its seeds can be used in biscuits and other traditional recipes. The seeds and roots are also used as ingredients in some liqueurs. Angelica is often paired with tart fruits such as rhubarb. Its flavour can complement rhubarb while helping balance its sharp acidity. The plant also has a long history of traditional herbal use. Its unusual history and striking appearance make it a fascinating garden plant.
