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.

Sowing: Growing Angelica from seed is extremely easy. Place the seeds on the surface of well-drained, fine compost and do not cover as the seeds need light to germinate. Keep moist and the seeds should germinate between 7 and 14 days. Once the first true leaves have developed, pot on the seedlings in larger containers.

Tip: Angelica seeds can be sown in early autumn as the young plants will overwinter well. The plant will reach its full size in the second year of growing.
