4 years ago

i used a computerized identifier that came up with angelica archangelica. i googled pics of that and seems close but maybe not totally right. i know the image i am uploading is not good. i didnt take it myself just saw it in the background while i was shopping for rhubarb forcers. curious to see what an actual human can come up with...

thanks!

Could be. I found the original picture on the Whichford site and it appears to be a British garden in late April/early May, judging by the other plants. And that's what Angelica would look like at this time of year. Another possibility is Melianthus major. But the detail isn't very clear.

I let them all go to seed, even cutting off "flowers" once the seed were ripe and manually sowing the seeds into the surrounding soil. I so have my fingers crossed that I will see seedlings next season. (Not seeing any young plants this past year I realize I wont see flowers in 2019). I take it "Ruth" that you had no issues getting these amazing plants to return (easily?) via self seeding? It think our hardiness zones are quite similar.

Violet: Great! I know you are the expert in Asian Veggies! I found it on the web known-you.com (Taiwanese seed company) but they only have the plants for sale... I just wondering what is the name it goes by in common name so I can see if Richters have it... it is cooked as a herb and vegetable.. it looks very much like giant italian parsley also if you know a seed source will be great

You should probably let it reseed; they have a short shelf life if you're going to sell them.
