Angelica breweri is a species of angelica known as Brewer's angelica. It is native to the high mountain ranges of eastern California and far western Nevada, where it grows in coniferous forests. This is a taprooted perennial herb producing an erect, hollow, hairy stem to heights between 1 and 2 meters. The large leaves are composed of many highly dissected leaflets, each up to 10 centimeters long. The inflorescence is a compound umbel with up to 50 long rays holding clusters of hairy white flowers. The base of each pedicel has a thick webbing. The fruit is a pair of ribbed bodies, each containing a seed.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Angelica Breweri.

Pruning

Brewer's angelica flourishes with thoughtful pruning. This process involves removing dead stems to enhance air circulation and encourage new growth. The best time to prune is early spring, as this helps maintain the plant's shape and promotes its health. Be sure to use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts just above outward-facing buds, which will support vigorous flowering.
