Angelica gigas

Angelica gigas, commonly known as Korean angelica, is a striking biennial or short-lived perennial with tall, robust stems topped by large, umbrella-like umbels of deep reddish-purple flowers. The finely divided, dark green foliage forms an impressive base, providing architectural interest in borders and naturalistic planting.

This species is valued for pollinators, offering abundant nectar to bees and other insects during its summer flowering period. Its dramatic height, bold foliage, and vibrant flowers make it ideal for damp meadows, waterside borders, and wildlife-friendly gardens where vertical structure is desired.
