Angelica sylvestris is a biennial herbaceous plant sold as 50 fresh seeds. This wild angelica herb is native to the Ural mountains and valued for its medicinal properties. Our Angelica sylvestris seeds are harvested from the wild and carefully cleaned for optimal germination.
The plant has a short, thick, ringed rhizome, a straight, thick, and arched stem that can grow up to 2 meters high. The leaves are triangular in outline, double- or triple-pinnately dissected, with sharp-toothed segments. Violet 'belts' at the origin of the petioles of the lateral segments are a distinctive feature. The central umbels are large and strongly convex, with white or pinkish petals.
Angelica sylvestris is native to the Ural mountains and can be found in the wild in mountainous regions with moist soils and partial shade.
Angelica sylvestris has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. The plant is also a popular ingredient in herbal teas and infusions.
Angelica sylvestris prefers well-drained soils and partial shade. It can grow quite tall, so provide support if necessary.
