The foliage and hollow grooved stems have a faint aniseed odor. Angelica is a graceful plant in any situation. this plant is also known as Purple Angelica. Its large flower heads are bee and butterfly friendly too and if you leave the seed-heads in place the birds will love it too.

Due to the size of the plant and leaves, Angelica can be windblown, so may need staking once it has reached full size.

Great plants
I bought Angelica Gigas plants from Hooksgreen Herbs. They were delivered quickly and arrived in fantastic condition. The packaging was excellent and fully protected the plants in transit. The plants are very healthy and great value for money. I live in the north so at the moment the plants are waiting in a cold frame and will be planted out when the soil starts to warm up after recent snow and hard frost. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for quality plants at a reasonable price.
