Garden Angelica (Angelica archangelica) – P9 pot

Garden Angelica is an impressive, hardy biennial plant often used in herb and wild gardens. In the first year, the plant forms a rosette of large, aromatic leaves, and in the second year, it blooms with tall umbels full of greenish-white flowers that attract many bees and other pollinators.

All parts of the plant have a distinct, herbal aroma and are traditionally used in liqueurs, syrups, and confectionery. Garden Angelica prefers moist, nutritious soil and grows best in a semi-shaded spot.

Uses

• Kitchen: syrups, liqueurs, and confectionery
• Biodiversity: highly attractive to bees and pollinators
• Ornamental garden: striking, architectural plant in the border

You can plant it outdoors immediately in a moist, nutritious spot with partial shade. The plant will primarily develop a strong root rosette before winter. In winter, the above-ground part largely dies back, but the plant is hardy and will emerge again in the spring. It remains in rosette form during the first year and only blooms in the second year.
