A majestic and impressive perennial with handsome foliage, this angelica also produces rounded umbels up to 25cm across, of small green flowers in early summer.
Ideally suited to a reliably moist soil in partial to full shade, it has a striking achitectural presence and looks wonderful at the back of the border.
Often short-lived, it will usually die back after flowering, but will self-seed freely if the conditions are favourable.

Angelica thrives in moist but well-drained soil and can be grown in full sun or partial shade, making it versatile for different garden settings.
When planting, ensure the soil is enriched with organic matter to retain moisture and provide nutrients.
To control its spread, remove seed heads before they fully ripen to prevent self-seeding. After flowering, cut down the stems in autumn to tidy up the plant, or leave them over winter for added structure in the garden, removing them in early spring to make way for new growth.
Regular watering is essential, especially in dry periods, to maintain its lush appearance.

As the seed requires light to germinate, surface sow - either directly onto a well-prepared bed in late spring or early summer, or onto compost-filled modules in late summer or autumn.
Germination can take 2-3 weeks, but when large enough to handle, thin seedlings to 15cm (6") intervals, and then transplant them (while still young) to where they are to grow, spacing them at 60-90cm (2-3ft) intervals.
