Angelica (Archangel)
Other Angelica (Archangel) Angelica archangelica
Angelica is native to Lapland and Northern Europe. It prefers local moist conditions and will reseed under good conditions. The Lapps use the leaves as a preservative for fish and all parts of the plant for medicinal and magical purposes. These tall plants produce stately umbels of whitish flowers in the 2nd and 3rd year, making a striking background in semi-shade areas. Angelica is an ingredient in cordials and liqueurs such as Benedictine. The young leaves and shoots may be eaten in salads and the green stems candied or preserved in syrup.
