Often referred to as summer snap dragons because they produce a profusion of flowers resembling small snapdragons which bloom all summer long as well asinto the fall, Anfgelonias are a perfect addition to summer landscapes. Planting them in masses will make a striking display. They have the appearance of being delicate and difficult to grow but are actually quite easy, especially since they love the sun. Excellent for growing in containers and window boxes, they are also strong performers in beds and along borders. Their beautiful spikes come in a wonderful array of colors from mauve, purple and pink to blue and white and are available in tall, upright and short bushy varieties. Many think their fragrant blooms smell like apples and they make excellent cut flowers
Angelonias grow up to 18 inches tall and do not need to be deadheaded to produce a continuous display of blooms but removing dead stalks will help to promote a continued array of fresh blooms. Since Angelonia’s are sun worshippers, plant them in locations that receive at least 6 to 8 hours daily of direct sunlight. They prefer moist, well-drained soil but they can withstand brief dry spells but do allow the soil to dry out between watering’s. Butterflies, bees and hummingbirds are frequent visitors to Angelonia’s.
