Wild Angelica

Angelica sylvestris Vicar's Mead

Large, mound-shaped umbels of pink flowers that age to white on purple branched stems. This angelica will make a bold statement in a large herbaceous border where the large, attractive bronze-purple leaves look great against silver-foliaged plants. Performing best in moist sun, it also is a biennial but will self-seed freely.
