  • Overview

    Large, lobed leaves and thick, hollow stems. Leaves and stalks have sweet flavor. Because Angelica is a biennial, flowering begins early spring of the second year. Large, numerous blooms. Seeds are cold-stored to ensure viability. Blooms make a lovely addition to fresh or dried bouquets. Attracts and feeds beneficial insects and pollinators, including bees, parasitic wasps, lady beetles, minute pirate bugs, syrphid flies, and tachinid flies.
