Title: Angelica ursinum
Post by: johnw on October 11, 2009, 08:18:50 PM: I just received seed from Hokkaido of Angelica ursinum. I wonder if it should be singly sown in pots, I seem to recall A. gigas is difficult to transplant but perhaps that is later in life.

I found this shot of the big brute while goggling.

Brian - So you suggest we transplant early. I think we will sow now and give them a good long cold winter.

I was pleased to find out more from the link about A. taiwaniana (which I have as taiwanensis but I guess it's the same thing). Another very dark stemmed and leaved plant. Not flowered yet and I'd better get them planted out very soon.
