Another fancy carrot - but this time it's perennial! Angelica Vicar's Mead is a tall, short-lived perennial, reaching 4-5 feet in height with about a 2-foot spread. This variety features bronze-purple foliage topped by large domed umbels of lavender‑purple flowers in late summer. It is loved by pollinators and is a great candidate as a cut flower, lasting over a week in the vase if harvested when the umbels have expanded fully. It's excellent as a structural element in dried or fresh arrangements. Hardy throughout zones 4 to 9, this plant thrives in moist, fertile soil, but can tolerate poorer quality soils. It prefers full sun but can withstand part shade, and benefits from consistent watering - it's not the most drought-tolerant. Let some go to seed in the garden if you want it to self-sow.

Please note that perennial orders must be placed separately from other plug orders. The minimum order is two trays, which may be mixed and matched with all other perennials in this collection. Learn more about our perennial program here.
