Angelica lucida
Also called Seabeach Angelica, Seaside Angelica, Shiny Angelica, Sea Watch
Seacoast angelica is a hardy perennial herb of the carrot family that grows mainly along coastlines and in cold northern regions. It is a wild species rather than a common garden plant, so it is best grown in cool, moist, open sites.
Angelica lucida is a species of angelica known by the common names seacoast angelica and sea-watch. It is also one of many species in the celery family which are casually called wild celery.
As its common names suggest, this plant is found most often along the coastline. Its distribution includes the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic coasts of North America, and the Russian Far East. The species can occur far inland in Arctic climates such as Alaska.
