Culture Notes
In cooler zones, angelica should be grown in full sun; warmer climates allow for partial shade. These plants actually die off after flowering and the production of seeds. Dead-heading spent blossoms will not only discourage the production of seeds, but may extend the plant's life. A. gigas grows 5-6 feet tall, has divided leaves and burgundy-red blossoms and stalks. Often listed as a biennial, it is at the very best a short-lived perennial. A. gigas does best when grown in partial shade.
