Angelica, organic seeds

Eco Heirloom

Information

Angelica is usually sown in August, 1-2 cm deep directly in the ground and grows 2 m tall. The seeds need a period of cold to germinate. They can also be sown very early in spring or be pre-cultivated in pots which should be put in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator for a few weeks to awaken the seeds and then they can be set out. The plant grows magnificently but doesn't bloom that year. A. thrives in deep moist soil where it often self-sows and creates quite a shrubbery. If the flower stalk is cut off before blooming, the plant returns the next year. 200 seeds/g. A portion contains about 100 seeds.
