Angelica is too large for a small herb garden, and it seeds like mad, so you have to be vigilant if you plant it. But if you like to use its aniseed flavour in cooking, try planting it at the back of a herbaceous border amongst the delphiniums and lupins. Angelica has a bright green foliage, which is attractive by itself. The flowers can be cut for short-lived flower arrangements if you plug their hollow stems with a little flower-foam before putting them in a vase. Making candied angelica is complicated, but try cooking a few chunks of angelica stem with rhubarb, but remember to remove it before serving. It reduces the acidity so you won't need half your usual amount of sugar!
