Angelica Root
Angelica archangelica
Also known as masterwort, it’s best to give your angelica plenty of room to grow and harvest the roots in the first year either in the hours of The Sun or Jupiter (Culpeper). Store them in a jar out of the light after drying them quickly. Angelica likes moist soil and survives the winter as a perennial herb.
