A bold presence in the herb garden, with large, ball-shaped flower clusters on sturdy stalks. An ancient herb with many historical culinary uses and medicinal properties; as with all herbs, research before use. Angelica is a biennal plant, forming a mound of leaves its first year, and reaching its dramatic height in the second, and final, year of its life cycle. Allow some seed to mature and scatter where you want the next crop of plants to grow in your garden.
