Posted by wildflowers (North East Texas - Zone 7b) on Aug 27, 2014 12:57 PM This is considered a hardy biennial. In northern climates it can get quite large, but here in the south it might grow to about 1 foot tall at best. This plant doesn't really like southern heat, so it is not the best choice, but apparently I like a challenge, and I will continue to try growing it, although I failed in my last efforts. The hard part is finding fresh seeds when they are best to plant, in August. [ Reply to this comment | |

Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on Oct 2, 2013 10:49 AM Medicinal herb which may be used for menstrual pains, anemia, fatigue, anorexia, thrombosis, psoriasis, arthritis, and gland swelling. Legend claims angelica was revealed by Archangel Michael to cure the plague. This is an absolute bee-magnet when blooming. I have had good luck simply letting some of the seeds mature and shaking them around when ripe. In the early spring, it is easy to thin the new seedlings and to also limit the number of second year seedlings to maintain a steady population. [ Reply to this comment | |
