Angelica is a biennial, which is best known for its striking structure of large leaves and huge domed umbelliferous flowerheads, creating an impressive architectural statement in the garden. It’s good for including in wildlife planting as the flowers are attractive to pollinators and the seeds are eaten by birds. The ribbed, hollow stems are traditionally candied for use in baking. All parts of angelica are highly aromatic, and it has traditionally been used for medicinal as well as culinary purposes.
