Angelonia makes a stunning alternative to the usual bedding varieties and despite its angelic proportions, it is a tough performer promising masses of flowers over a long period.

Commonly known as the ‘Summer Snapdragon’ or ‘Angel Flower’ this tender perennial from the Americas is grown as an annual bedding plant. It produces an abundance of flower spikes carrying exquisitely detailed, miniature ‘snapdragons’ from late-spring to autumn. Unlike the common snapdragon, Angelonia is more tolerant of heat and drought and will continue to pump out blooms through heatwaves without stopping. On warm evenings, they also offer the additional reward of a sweet, vanilla fragrance. These self-cleansing plants require no dead-heading, pushing out a constant supply of new flowering stems without any care other than routine feeding. Their erect flower spikes partner beautifully with contrasting flower forms such as petunias. Angelonia Serena Mix comprises a wide array of jewel-like shades, creating seas of colour to drift through borders, line path edges or fill patio containers. Height and spread: 30cm-40cm (12-16in).

Pot up plug plants and grow them on in warm, frost free conditions until plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting out in a warm, well-drained position in full sun.

Feed and water plants regularly, particularly during hot, dry periods.

Throughout the growing season, water Peruvian lilies regularly and feed container grown plants each month. When picking alstroemeria pluck the flowers rather than cutting as plucking stimulates the rhizome encourage further growth. In autumn, cut back the old Alstroemeria flower stems and apply a dry mulch of chipped bark or straw to the base of the plant to protect it from cold winter weather. Alstroemeria prefers to be left undisturbed but can be divided in autumn or spring if clumps become overcrowded. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes.
