Angelonia Serena series

Angelonia ‘Serena Purple’

* Common name: Angelonia Serena(TM) series

* Botanical name: Angelonia angustifolia

* What it is: An upright annual flower that produces multiple spikes lined with dainty, orchid-like flowers. Although these “summer snapdragons” look dainty, they’re very tough in heat and drought. Series comes in white, pinkish-lavender, purple and a blend of all three.

* Size: Most compact angelonia yet… only 15 to 18 inches tall and wide.

* Where to use: Great in pots or any sunny flower bed.

* Care: Prefers damp, rich and well drained soil. Needs no deadheading or spraying but flowers best with a shot of high-phosphorus fertilizer every few weeks, especially in pots.

* Great partner: White and purple ones are perfect with pink shrub roses.
