Angelonia angustifolia – Summer Snapdragon.

Angelonia, also known as Summer Snapdragon: cheerful, upright spikes of orchid-like blooms that thrive in heat and don’t mind a dry spell. This mix of purples, whites, and pinks brings colour and structure to pots, beds, or sunny borders – without the fuss.

Plant Care

Position: full sun in well-drained soil – ideal for containers, borders, and bedding schemes

Hardiness: tender annual in the UK – flowers all summer until frost

Hot Tips: deadhead lightly to extend blooming, though it’s largely self-cleaning. Drought-tolerant once established and excellent for hot, sunny spots. Low-maintenance and great for pollinators.
