Angelface® Wedgwood Blue
Summer Snapdragon
Angelonia angustifolia hybrid
A great series for Proven Winners, these Angelonias have been bred for flower performance as well as a great upright branching growth habit. Large flower size and garden performance make these an exciting addition to our summer flowering collection. Angelonias in containers make full blooming specimen plants that are great for the patio and yard. Planted in the landscape, Angelonias will WOW gardeners with their beautiful shape and structure and will flower well into the fall. The flower stems also are great for making vase arrangements providing enjoyment for 10 days or more.
AngelFace Angelonia is one of Dr. Rick Schoellhorn's top 10 favorites for Florida.
Angelonia are often called Summer snapdragons for good reason as they love the heat and will flower most all summer, though they often take a break in the heat if high summer. No deadheading required, huge blooms of white, pink and blue tones. Easy and rewarding, just keep up
regular fertilizing and watering.

| The tall spikes of small orchid-shaped flowers are reminiscent of man favorite cottage garden plants such as larkspur, foxglove, and salvia. Angelface Wedgwood Blue features super-saturated blue and white bicolored blossoms on well-branched, extra sturdy stems. Flowering earlier than other Angelonia and with the ability to tolerate heat, it's an easy way to add height and brilliant color to borders and containers. | ||
