Angelica stricta purpurea
Angelica stricta purpurea is a rare and spectacular perennial with foliage so dark and luxurious it practically reigns over its neighbors. Growing quickly to about 4' tall and 3' wide, this dramatic angelica forms bold purple-black leaves that bring instant depth, contrast, and garden royalty to rich borders and collector plantings.
The floral show is equally compelling. Huge ruby, boat-shaped buds open into large 4–5" umbels that shift from mauve to deep violet-purple, creating a moody, architectural display that butterflies adore. This is a fabulous choice for cottage gardens, pollinator borders, woodland edges, and richly planted perennial beds where unusual foliage and dramatic bloom structure are welcome.
Plant Angelica stricta purpurea in full sun to part shade with rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. It is easy, fairly fast, and can bloom the first year if spring planted. Allow a few seed heads to mature and it may self-sow where happy. Bold, rare, and unforgettable, it is a must-have for lovers of dark foliage.
