A beautiful warm season annual, Angelonia bears masses of tiny orchid like flowers on tall stems all summer long. It loves heat and humidity, so it is perfect for our summers. It is a perfect centerpiece for containers, or great as a tall bedding plant. There are several varieties to choose from, with different colors and heights. Colors range from White, Pink, or shades of Purple and Blue. Does not require deadheading, although a trim in mid-summer of any spent flower stalks will encourage a renewal of flowering stems and tidy the planting.
