Angelica archangelica; syn Angelica officinalis

#PlantsForPollinators #pollinators absolutely has to be Archaneglica. Never seen so many bumbles or honeybees on one plant at the same time!

I love this structural giant but sadly my borders aren’t deep enough to accommodate it 😕

@houseofflowers neither are mine (they were mislabelled for ultimate size) but I left them anyway and loved them! I’m not such a skilled gardener as you so my beds are a bit haphazard anyway 😂

Thanks it’s kind of you to say I’m skilled - I still feel like I’m muddling through and it’s the plants that do all the hard work!

My very first #ladybirds spotted in the garden, making the most of the #Angelica! #green #wildlife

The #Angelica is attracting so many #bees. It’s bigger than I expected but amazing! #plantsforpollinators #green

Here you go @belindah. This is the whole plant. Currently about 5.5ft. Lovely umbrella style!

Love this Angelica but definitely wrongly labelled. Said it would grow 3-3.5ft. It’s nearly 5.5 feet with lots of heads and more to come. Early flowering as well?

Wow, it's a real statement plant!

@belindah it really is! Only flowers on its second year but it has been worth the wait. Only downside is my garden isn’t huge and it was supposed to be around half it’s current size. So now I have six in the garden and they rather dominate 🙈 bees are enjoying them though. Had so many types already!

They're really great👍👍👍
