I'm the coordinator of the Simcoe County Master Gardeners and I have an inquiry that I don't have the answer for. Does this plant cause a rash like poison ivy and is it considered a noxious weed? I grow the regular angelica and have had no problem in my garden.As you know Angelica atropurpurea is a wild species similar to the European angelica (Angelica archangelica), the well known culinary and medicinal herb. It has a history of use like the European species although it is considered inferior because it is less aromatic. Both the medicinal and culinary properties derive from the aromatic content of the plant, so where there is a choice, the European species is the better one.
