Angelonia, commonly known as summer snapdragon, is a vibrant heat-loving annual flowering plant native to Mexico and the West Indies. This 18-inch container features a full, bushy specimen in a 3.86-quart pot, ideal for patios, decks, and garden beds.

The plant produces upright spikes of small, two-lipped tubular flowers approximately 3/4 inch across, available in shades of purple, pink, blue, white, or bicolor blends. Dark green, slightly glossy foliage provides an attractive backdrop throughout the season. Unlike traditional snapdragons, angelonia thrives in summer heat and humidity, blooming continuously without deadheading required.

Angelonia grows best in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers moist, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5–6.2 and regular watering during establishment, becoming more drought-tolerant once roots are established. It is perennial in USDA zones 9–11 and treated as an annual in cooler climates. The plant is naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant, making it a low-maintenance addition to any garden.
