This angelica is a stunning, architectural plant that will add height and drama to a border. It produces dome-shaped heads of plum-purple flowers on red-tinted stems in August and September and it has pretty, deeply cut leaves. Try it at the back of a sunny herbaceous or mixed border, where the flowerheads will attract bees. It performs best in moist, fertile soil. This plant is usually short-lived and will die back after setting seed.
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.
