American Angelica, Purple Angelica, Masterwort, Alexanders, Purplestem Angelica, Angelica atropurpurea var. occidentalis
Angelica atropurpurea (American Angelica) is a large herbaceous perennial with gorgeous, rounded umbels, up to 4-10 in. across (10-25 cm), of cream to greenish tiny flowers from early summer to early fall. The flower umbels are borne on smooth, dark purple, hollow stems. They rise above the foliage of bright green leaves adorned with 3-5 finely-toothed leaflets and make a pretty backdrop for other plants. The flowers give way to dry seed-like fruits. As an ornamental plant, Angelica atropurpurea is a stunning perennial, providing height and structure in the landscape. Its seed head stalks hold well into winter and are quite decorative.
