Angelica archangelica Plants and HerbsWe would probably grow Angelica just because we love the name 'Angelica archangelica', sounds a little like an Italian movie star. However it really is a useful herb grown for its roots and is also found in cottage gardens. The young stems of Angelica are sometimes candied or used in the cooking of sour fruits to help reduce acidity. We use it when we cook rhubarb. Both the roots and the seeds are used to make aromatic oils. Growing Angelica in the GardenAngelica prefers a part shaded position in a moist, humus rich loam, it's another relative of parsley, so similar conditions apply. If you are growing it in the garden border remember that Angelica archangelica will grow to nearly a two foot plant (2/3m) but with flower spikes in mid summer to 6ft (2m) so it needs to go towards the rear of the border. Angelica will self seed, so deadhead to control if needed. You might wish to collect some seeds for sowing the next spring. |
Angelica seeds are available to buy online from specilaist herb nurseries listed.
