Potting of angelica.
These plants should be grown in full sun, except in the warm West and Deep South, where afternoon shade is advisable. Angelica needs plenty of fertilizer and moisture. Harvest the leaves in the spring before the plants bloom. A light harvest can also be taken just before fall frost. The leaves, stems, seeds and roots are edible and used in cooking, candying, tisanes, teas and liqueurs.
Propagation of angelica.
Sow seeds straight outdoors in late summer as soon as fresh seeds are available. The seeds will not last in storage. Transplanting is difficult, so its better to direct-seed them.
