Sowing Instructions:
Sow Angelica Archangelica seeds indoors in early spring, around 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Fill seed trays or pots with well-draining seed compost, and lightly press the seeds into the surface, as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and place the trays in a bright, warm location, maintaining a temperature of around 18-20°C for optimal germination, which should occur in 14-21 days. Once the seedlings are large enough, harden them off and transplant them outdoors to a sunny or partially shaded location with rich, well-drained soil. Space the plants 30-45 cm apart to allow for their tall growth.
Angelica Archangelica thrives in moist, fertile soil and prefers a spot where it can receive full sun or light shade. The plant grows to an impressive height of 1.5-2 metres, with aromatic, bright green stems and large, compound leaves. In mid to late summer, it produces clusters of small, pale greenish-white flowers that attract bees and other beneficial insects. This plant not only adds height and drama to your garden but can also be used in culinary dishes (such as for making flavoured syrups or preserving fruit) and is known for its medicinal properties. Kew Flower House Angelica Archangelica is perfect for those seeking a versatile, striking, and easy-to-grow plant with many uses in the garden.
