Angelonias are heat-loving plants that grow vigorously and bloom\u00a0best from early\u00a0summer into fall.\u00a0Plants\u00a0should be sited in full sun or light shade and moist, well-drained soil.\u00a0 Before planting amend the garden soil with\u00a0lots of compost to\u00a0boost plant vigor and bloom numbers. Set out bedding plants in spring, 2-3 weeks after the threat of frost temps has past. Angelonias do tolerate temporary soggy soil\u00a0and moderate drought.<\/p>\n

Space individual plants 12 -14 inches apart in cool Northern climates and 18 to 24 inches apart in warm Southern regions. When the young plants reach 6 inches tall, pinch out the tips of the main stems to encourage branching and bushiness. Fertilize at planting time with a slow release product such as Osmocote\u2122 or Nutricote\u2122. Feed the bed or container in mid-summer with a water soluble fertilizer such as Miracle-Gro\u2122 or Jacks\u2122.\u00a0Mulching with wood chips or yard compost will help conserve soil moisture.\u00a0 No floral deadheading is necessary.<\/p>\n

Angelonias are mostly disease and pest-free as well as deer resistant. Plant them\u00a0in garden borders or in mixed containers or window boxes.\u00a0Flowers, according to PW, emit a distinct grape soda-like fragrance. Cut flowers are long lasting.<\/p>\n
