Sow directly in place, in stacks of 2 to 3 seeds. Press lightly, keep moist until emergence, then thin out to keep a single plant. You can also sow in a bucket, under cover. To facilitate germination, store seeds in a moist substrate in the refrigerator for two periods of 60-90 days, interspersed with 60-90 days of warm storage (at 25-30°C). Monitor regularly and plant if germination begins.
At the end of the season, prune fairly short. Angelica disappears completely in winter and comes back early in spring.

The roots, used in Chinese medicine, are harvested in autumn, then washed and air-dried. They are then slit lengthwise to speed drying. The stems and petioles are also used to make pastries and confectionery, and the leaves can be eaten as a condiment. Ashitaba angelica is known for the high vitamin content of its yellowish stem sap. It is said to increase longevity and cure infections.
