Angelonia are heat-loving plants that will grow most vigorously and bloom best when the
heat is on, perfect to bring a touch of color to any garden. Angelonia will tolerate wet feet
and a fair amount of drought. The plants are easy care with no deadheading needed. A bit
of fertilizer or some compost in a garden bed is usually all that is needed for these plants to
thrive. Due to their heat-loving nature they are one of the plants that can be planted even
during the heat of mid-summer
Angelonia is an erect little perennial with smooth stems and narrow leaves with toothed
margins and pointed tips. This showy plant is native to Mexico and the West Indies and gives
a delicate touch your garden. This plant is relatively easy to grow and they are also called

summer, late summer and summer.
