Love angelica but can't fit its large frame into your garden? Then this dwarf Spanish version is for you. Has the same greenish-yellow globular flowers but better, glossy leaves.

A stunning larger-flowered version of the herb angelica, with purple bracts to the flowerheads. The whole plant is aromatic, especially the seeds.

Two herbs I wouldn't be without, rosemary for flavouring roast potatoes and thyme for chicken. Ideal for pots by the back door so you don't have to go on when you're busy cooking.
