Angelonia: The Heat-Loving Summer Snapdragon

Angelonia - Summer Snapdragons

Often called "Summer Snapdragons" due to their similar flower shape, Angelonia brings continuous color to hot, sunny gardens. Blooming from late spring through fall in shades of purple, white, pink, and lavender, these tough annuals thrive in conditions that cause many other plants to wilt. Once established, they are remarkably waterwise, needing only occasional irrigation.

Why Choose Angelonia?
