PS, Jul-Sep, H36"-72", W24"-48", Sp 24", Z 4-8 Korean Angelica. This self-supporting giant adds lovely architecture to the back of the flower border, in a woodland setting or for growing by a stream or pond. The plants bear abundant 4 to 8 inch purple-red domed flower heads held atop tall red stems. Their bold, dis- sected leaves range from 1 to 2 feet long. Grow in deep, moist, fertile soil. Plants die after set- ting seed, so either cut off flowers before seed matures to extend plant life or allow some seeds to self-sow. Seeds rapidly mature into flowering size plants. 2P
