Angelica

Crikey they've done brilliantly :-) mine are huge this year too, another thats loved the rain, and they've started seeding around very prolificly for the first time, so watch out Dawn, really love it when it flowers :-)).
All these huge perennials look gorgeous by your pond Dawn :-)

Hi Kathy, glad you've seen it. To be honest, loads germinated and grew but the bad winter 2010 robbed me, only have a couple left. So what do you suggest, letting them flower and seed or keep the plant and stop it flowering? Glad u like the big perennials - I need them as small stuff doesnt pack a punch.

I'd let it flower Dawn, shame to miss out on that :-), you could collect the seed after flowering just in case they don't self seed,or let them do their own thing, a couple of mine died last year but most appear to be perennial, know there are several varieties some biennial some perennial, I just swapped the seed as Angelica so not sure which they are ??
Yes with your huge pond smaller plants would look out of place wouldn't they :-))

I have this in our small herb border lol just had to chop some of the leaves off it was taking over....looks smashing there.

Lol Dotty. The stem on this is as fat as your wrist.

Hi Kathy, thanks for that info, I'll let it do its own thing then and ensure I collect some seed. I love it.

I love eating angelica, must have a go and see if it tastes better than the bought ones...

Hopefully I can collect you some seed from mine Dotty :-)
