Angelica sinensis, commonly known as dong quai or “female ginseng” is a herb from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China. Angelica sinensis grows in cool high altitude mountains in China, Japan, and Korea. The yellowish brown root of the plant is harvested in fall and is a well-known Chinese medicine used over thousands of years. Angelica sinensis is a perennial that generally grows up to 3 feet tall. As you would expect from a plant native to China, it is hardy to Zone 7. The plant flowers in early fall and produces seeds during September and October. Angelica sinensis can be grown in semi-shade and prefers moist soil. The stems are purplish with 12-36 five-petal, white flowers that form on umbrels. Angelica sinensis is grown for the root of the plant. It is indigenous to China where it is commonly known as “dong quai.” It is also sometimes referred to “female ginseng”.
