I don't know if anyone grows this as an ornamental plant but not only

7 bumblebees.

Which one? Common angelica, or A. gigas, or some other one?


A. gigas, I think. I'll check but I'm pretty sure it's that one.

Nice! Great colour.

Pity it's so short-lived. Is it just biennial with you, or does it last
