Description: Umbels of yellow flowers appear on this carrot relative in early to late summer. Found in the wild along mountain streams, Yellow Angelica would work well in a moist spot in the garden or around a pond. An attractant for butterflies and bees, the seeds are also eaten by songbirds. The taproot of Yellow angelica has long been used by Indigenous Peoples as a powerful healing medicine for both people and horses. The name Angelica is derived from the seed pods which form two "wings" like angel wings. This can help distinguish it in the wild from the very similar but extremely poisonous water hemlock.

Found in Nature: Mountain streambanks and meadows

Distribution: SE British Columbia, Southern Alberta into Saskatchewan. Montana and Idaho in the US.
