Angelica Gigas
Korean Angelica
A large plant with bright green leaves in the shape of an open hand, and umbels of small yellow flowers in early Summer. This plant can become invasive, as it self seeds readily, and sends out runners. 'Angelica gigas' is a statuesque plant with large domed scented dark red flower-head attractive to bees, butterflies and – in the Autumn – birds.
