 Angelica:
The species archangelica is well known for its sweet taste and use of its stems for candying. All are related to the carrots and parsnips and grow large, long tap roots so they are best in a deep fertile soil. The flowers are large umbels of tiny flowers and are attractive to insects. None of our plants are suitable for eating as we use a treated compost but plants of some species grown yourself can be used in soups - check on the internet to confirm which are suitable. Propagation is by seed only (as far as I am aware) which is best sown very fresh as it doesn't keep. Members of the Apiaceae family. Great bee plants We hope to offer some more varieties in 2012 but we need see which and how many germinate - watch this space. |
 Angelica gigasTall architectural plants with branched stems and palmate leaves. Big heads of red flowers in summer. Hardy. Great bee plant. From Japan, Korea and China hence the common names of Korean Angelica and Purple Angelica. Monocarpic - i.e. dies after flowering but easy to keep going from saved seed, which is best sown fresh.
Perfect Partners: Angelia gigas is the perfect architectural counterpoint to the cottagy Phlox Othello during August. |
