Angelica pachycarpa is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae (the carrot or parsley family). Native to northwestern Iberia (Portugal and Galicia in Spain), it is also cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens due to its attractive foliage and striking floral display.
Habit: Herbaceous perennial, typically growing 1 to 1.5 meters tall. It has an upright, robust form.
Leaves: Large, glossy, dark green, and compound (pinnate or bipinnate), giving the plant a lush, architectural appearance.
Stems: Thick, hollow, often with a purplish tinge, typical of many Angelica species.
Flowers: Umbels (umbrella-like clusters) of small, creamy-white to greenish-white flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. These are attractive to pollinators like bees and hoverflies.
Fruit: Small schizocarps (dry fruit that splits into two), typical of the Apiaceae family.
Roots: Fleshy taproot.
Native Range: Portugal and northwest Spain.
Preferred Conditions: Moist, fertile, well-drained soils in partial shade to full sun.
Garden Use: Valued for both its foliage and flower display in ornamental and wildlife gardens. Sometimes used in architectural or woodland-style plantings.
Foliage: Especially prized for its glossy, almost leathery texture, which distinguishes it from other angelicas.
Toxicity: Like many Apiaceae species, it may contain compounds that are phototoxic or mildly toxic if ingested in large amounts. Caution is advised.
