Angelica, Angelica archangelica (but may be labeled Archangelica officinalis), is also known as European Angelica, Garden Angelica, Angelique and Archangel. There is another herb also sometimes called Archangel, the white deadnettle. It's important to grow Angelica using seed from a reputable source, and never collect from the wild, as it is easily mixed up with Hemlock, which is deadly. When I was a child, angelica stems were often candied and used to decorate cakes and confectionery.
