Angelica (Angelica archangelica) in a P9 pot

Angelica is an impressive, aromatic plant with large, bright green leaves and stately flower clusters. This biennial (sometimes short-lived perennial) is known for its powerful fragrance and versatile uses: stems, leaves, seeds, and roots are traditionally used in cooking and herbal medicine. The flavor is spicy, slightly sweet, and reminiscent of celery and anise.

In the first year, the plant primarily produces foliage; in the second year, tall flower stems with greenish-white umbels appear, attracting many bees and other insects. Angelica can grow to a height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters and is a real eye-catcher in the herb garden, vegetable garden, or food forest.

Plant in a sunny to partially shaded spot in fertile, humus-rich, and sufficiently moist soil. Water regularly during dry periods. If you let the plant finish flowering, it will often self-seed.

Organic/non-organic
This planting material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.

Stronger plants, honest photos
Our plants are grown outdoors and are completely winter-hardy. They aren't young greenhouse plants, but stronger, perennials that have been growing for a while and therefore have a well-developed root system. By growing in wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations, they are better hardened, more robust, and adapt more quickly after planting than herbs grown in a warm greenhouse this year. Conservatory plants often look greener and fuller, but are younger and less resilient.

Because our plants follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, they can look bare or less attractive in winter. Many perennials die back (partially) above ground and store their energy underground. Sometimes the pot may seem empty, but don't worry: the strong roots are alive and will ensure the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring.

The photos show what the plants look like in winter, so you get a fair idea of ​​what you'll receive if you order in the spring.
