INTRODUCING ANGELICA SEEDS

Angelica (Angelica archangelica), is a biennial herb that thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 9. This plant will typically reach about 4 to 6 feet, with a spread of up to 3 feet. Angelica has tall, hollow stems. With large flower clusters, resembling an umbrella, it is a striking beauty in any space it grows in.

PLANTING ANGELICA SEEDS

Sow Angelica seeds anytime from late fall to early spring. If the seeds do not overwinter, 2 to 4 weeks of cold stratification will improve the germination. Start indoors, transplanting the seedlings out after the last frost. Germination occurs within 2 to 3 weeks. When transplanting, space the plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Place them in moist, well-drained soil, with partial to full sun exposure.

MAINTAINING ANGELICA PLANTS

The Angelica plant needs moderate upkeep, so water the plants regularly to ensure the soil is always moist. This heavy feeder benefits from the addition of organic matter before planting and during the season of growth. The stems, leaves, and Angelica root are all edible. You can harvest them at different stages, for various uses. Stems are best harvested in the second year, before they flower.

Growing Angelica will provide a versatile herb. One that can be used fresh or dried in different culinary and medicinal preparations. It is used to flavor liqueurs, for making herbal remedies and teas, and much more. Enjoy its distinctive taste. Welcome the health benefits of Angelica!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
