This is the Japanese species of “Dong Quai,” the highly regarded herb used for female hormonal balance, blood purification, migraines & much more (The Chinese species is A. polymorpha var. sinensis). Well, look, it makes a lovely plant for the garden, too. The smallest of the Angelicas, it grows to only 2’ tall with delicate & attractive, deep green, shiny foliage. In Summer, it bears large, pretty, white umbels. “Dong Quai” likes moist, rich soil & a top dressing of compost once or twice a year will keep it in perfect shape. Preventing it from setting seed will keep it reliably perennial.
