Angelonia is one of the few plants that loves southern states of USA hot temperature and humidity.
Figure - Blooming of Angelonia
This beautiful flower has common name or nicknamed, summer snapdragons. Drought tolerant but well with our rain. Doesn't usually need extra watering.
Angelonia is annually, but our plant did great until the big freeze in January. Replanted these in the Spring.
New (young) leaves of Angelonia are not tolerant to several animals (critters) such as:
- deer
- rabbits
- squirrels
- and other small wild critters.
We actually did cover them before the freeze. But the frost cloth was too lightweight. We used a heavy one (tree cover) doubled and it saved our Angelonia. Lesson learned. No deer, just squirrels and small wildlife.
Do you know about Angelonia?
