2024 is the Year of the Angelonia.
Angelonia, often called "summer snapdragon" due to its resemblance to snapdragons, is a captivating flowering plant known for its vibrant and long-lasting blooms.
Originating from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Angelonia is a favorite among gardeners, particularly in warm climates.
Angelonia includes several species, but the most commonly cultivated is Angelonia angustifolia. Over the years, horticulturists have developed numerous varieties of this species, focusing on enhancing its color range, bloom size, and hardiness. Gardeners can choose from various Angelonia varieties, showcasing colors like purple, pink, white, blue, and bicolor patterns.
What makes Angelonia particularly appealing is its resilience and its low maintenance. It is known for its ability to withstand heat and humidity, and it typically reaches 18 inches tall (46 centimeters), forming dense, bushy mounds covered in flowers from late spring until the first frost.
The flowering plant is popular in borders, container gardens, and as a bedding plant. Their upright growth habit and continuous blooming make them a standout. Their drought tolerance adds to their appeal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance yet visually striking plants.
