Angelica gigas - 2026

Angelica gigas is a striking biennial or short-lived perennial known for its bold architectural presence in the garden, featuring tall, erect stems topped with large, deep purple umbels of flowers that create a dramatic focal point. Blooming in mid to late summer, the intricate umbels attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting garden biodiversity. Its large, divided foliage adds a lush, textural element to borders, cottage gardens, or naturalistic planting schemes, making it ideal for adding height and structure. Angelica gigas prefers a sheltered position with moist, fertile soil and benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Although generally easy to grow, it may self-seed readily, providing additional plants for following seasons.
