Cultivation Details
Angelica amurensis grows in northern China where winter temperaures are very low. It is found in areas where the hardyness zone ranges from 2 - 4. Species in this genus generally grow best in a deep moist fertile soil in dappled shade or full sun[1].
Propagation
Seed - best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe since the seed only has a short viability[1]. Seed can also be sown in the spring, though germination rates will be lower. It requires light for germination[1]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in a cold frame for their first winter, planting them out into their permanent positions in the spring. The seed can also be sow in situ as soon as it is ripe. Cite as: Temperate Plants Database, Ken Fern. temperate.theferns.info. 2026-02-20. <temperate.theferns.info/plant/Angelica+amurensis>
