ANGELICA HERBS
Angelica is a perennial herb sometimes called archangel, masterwort and
ground ash. It is a member of the parsley family and grows in fields and
damp locations. Plants are believed to have originated in Syria.
Stems, leafstalks, seeds and roots are all used. The oil in the seeds
is often distilled and used for food flavoring, medicines, and the flavoring
behind the liquor "Galliano". The laplanders chew the roots as a tobacco
substitute.
Plants are five to six (5 to 6) feet tall and resemble wild carrot or
Queen Anne's Lace. The root is purplish. Plants thrive in a moderately
cool location, with partial shade. Plants are propagated from seeds or
old root division and spaced eighteen (18) inches between plants in three
(3) foot rows.
