Angelonia ‘Serena Mix’ is an exceptional plant that offers both beauty and resilience, making it a wonderful alternative to traditional bedding plants. Known as the ‘Summer Snapdragon’ or ‘Angel Flower’, this plant delivers a breathtaking display of colourful, miniature snapdragon-like flowers from late spring through autumn, making it a perfect addition to any garden.
Unlike the typical snapdragon, Angelonia thrives in heat and drought, continuing to produce an abundance of blooms throughout long, hot summers without skipping a beat. Its erect flower spikes feature a mix of jewel-like shades, ranging from soft pinks to rich purples, blues, and whites. Not only does it add vibrant colour to borders, pathways, and containers, but it also has the added bonus of a sweet vanilla fragrance on warm evenings.
Angelonia ‘Serena Mix’ is low-maintenance, requiring no deadheading thanks to its self-cleaning nature. Routine feeding is all that's necessary to keep these plants flourishing and flowering. The strong, vertical growth of Angelonia pairs beautifully with more spreading flowers, such as petunias, creating visually dynamic, colourful displays in any garden setting. Whether you're looking for a border plant, a patio filler, or a container feature, Angelonia ‘Serena Mix’ offers stunning long-lasting blooms and effortless beauty. Height Up to 40cm (16in). Spread Up to 40cm (16in). A vibrant alternative to the usual bedding plants, offering a profusion of erect flower spikes carrying miniature snapdragon-like flowers from late spring to autumn.
