    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The floriferous namesake of St. Michael the Archangel, who is supposed to have revealed its power to battle the plague, Angelica archangelica's luxuriant, tropical-looking foliage makes a dramatic entrance each spring as leaves unfurl to a length of 2 to 3 ft. Flower buds of mauve, strikingly set against its deeply divided bright green verdure, herald the imposing lime-tinted white flowers surmounting thick, erect stalks. This Angelica's aromatic young shoots have long been used as a flavoring in sweet confections.

    Angelica archangelica is an uncommonly dramatic sweet-scented perennial, great in form and size alike. Huge 8" greeny-white umbels top 6 ribbed stalks, followed by pale yellow egg-shaped fruits. A plant that "makes a statement" as they say! Many medicinal uses too.
