Woodland Angelica

Taller plants with large umbels of small, frilly white flowers. Plants are sturdy and can sometimes be purple - flowers included! Flower stalks can be cut and put into floral arrangements, similar to the related Queen Anne's lace.

Often found growing on roadsides and in wooded, typically disturbed, areas.

!! This may be an invasive species in some locations, please ensure this plant isn't problematic in your area!

This is not the Angelica used in Victorian recipes.

Instructions

Seeds take a while to sprout; in spring after the risk of frost has passed, scatter seeds outside and cover lightly with dirt, keeping moist until they sprout. Plants can take up to a month to germinate. Seeds can also be started indoors, but care must be taken to not damage the delicate young roots when transplanting.

Plants need little care and can be left to grow on their own, but a blooming fertilizer can also be applied once in the summer.

Plants self-seed readily; if you don't want seeds scattered around, cut the flower stalks off once flowering finishes.
