Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Angelica Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

These showy, long-lasting blooms are taller than most other species in a wetland planting. Typically, it towers over the surrounding vegetation and produces the signature globe-like flowers that are hard to miss. The plant also grows in moist woodland areas. This native wetland plant grows in swampy areas and woodlands, usually near a river or stream. Angelica has a long history of use as a culinary and medicinal herb, since all parts of the plant are edible. When preserved in sugar, the stems make a traditional confection or garnish; both the stems and the seeds are used for making flavoring liqueurs. Many people consider Angelica a vegetable, and eat the celery-like stems raw. In the 15th century Angelica was valued for its medicinal benefits, lauded by many herbalists as a remedy for all ills. Its name comes from the time of the Great Plague in 1665, in a legend that a monk received a cure for the plague from an angel; the cure contained this herb boiled together with molasses and nutmeg, but records do not say whether the mixture had its intended effect. Angelica continues to be associated with protection from evil and disease.
