Here's the description on the label:
Angelica
Biennial - reseeds
4-6 ft tall
partial to full shade
During its first year it only grows leaves, but during its second year its fluted stem can reach a height of two meters (or six feet). Its leaves are composed of numerous small leaflets, divided into three principal groups, each of which is again subdivided into three lesser groups. The edges of the leaflets are finely toothed or serrated. The flowers, which blossom in July, are small and numerous, yellowish or greenish in colour, are grouped into large, globular umbels, which bear pale yellow, oblong fruits. Angelica only grows in damp soil, preferably near rivers or deposits of water.
Last weekend on the cape I ran across a garden with a group of angelicas, and they were amazing; huge with fascinating bulb-growths that unfurled into leaves and flowers:
Well, a couple of weeks since I planted it, our angelica is hardly towering, but it is alive and well:
