Angelic
Angelica is a biennial or short-lived perennial aromatic and medicinal plant, appreciated for its majestic appearance, its large cut leaves, and its greenish to creamy white flower umbels. It brings a lot of height and structure to the garden, making it an ideal plant for herb gardens, naturalized beds, country gardens, and edible landscapes. Its imposing foliage and wild look create a very decorative natural effect, while attracting pollinators during flowering.
Easy to grow in the right conditions, angelica prefers a location in sun or partial shade, in rich, cool, deep, and well-drained soil. It likes soils that retain some moisture without becoming waterlogged, which makes it interesting near a vegetable garden, a medicinal garden, or a cooler part of the land. Its vigorous growth can quickly add volume to a landscape, and it is best to reserve enough space for it to fully develop its wide and vertical silhouette.
Traditionally recognized as a medicinal and aromatic plant, angelica is also cultivated for its fragrant stems, leaves, and seeds, sometimes used in cooking, infusions, or confectionery. Its decorative flowering attracts several beneficial insects and helps to make the garden more lively and biodiverse. With its architectural style, distinctive fragrance, and its ornamental, culinary, and medicinal interest, angelica is a remarkable plant to enrich an herb garden, a natural vegetable garden, or a wild-looking perennial bed.
