Answer :

DESCRIPTION: This herb, also known as Archangel and Wild Parsnip, is a biennial or short-lived perennial. Angelica grows 5 to 6 feet high and 2 to 3 feet wide. This plant slightly resembles parsnip and has bright green, twice-compound leaves and large umbels of greenish-white to cream colored flowers. Its fragrant leaves are used both fresh and dried.


POTTING: These plants should be grown in full sun, except in the warm West and Deep South, where afternoon shade is advisable. Angelica needs plenty of fertilizer and moisture. Harvest the leaves in the spring before the plants bloom. A light harvest can also be taken just before fall frost. The leaves, stems, seeds and roots are edible and used in cooking, candying, tisanes, teas and liqueurs.


PROPAGATION: Sow seeds straight outdoors in late summer as soon as fresh seeds are available. The seeds will not last in storage. Transplanting is difficult, so it's better to direct-seed them.
