I've grown the white angelonia from the Serena series, and would like more angelonia.
Which varieties are growing and blooming well for you?
Thanks for sharing!

Questions, questions (this time: angelonia)
Hello Jo! I'm not familiar with this plant, just wanted to say howdy.
Jo, I'm also growing the white one. I put it out last spring and it's bloomed non stop since then. It's in a mixed foundation planting on the south side of the house and it's done really well. It got a lot bigger than I thought it would, so I have trimmed it back once. It didn't suffer this winter at all. I'd love to find a pink or purple one.
Here it is in a mixed bed with melampodium, blue daze, cupheas, salvias, begonias and black pearl pepper.

You lucky people in the warm weather. It is a nice enough plant for me to use as an annual.
I have the purple, the white and the lavender. All are A. serena. I kept them in pots and moved the pots in a plant shelter for winter. The foliage is making a great comeback this spring. The purple was my favorite and this is a photo of the purple from last summer... I may have seeds for all colors if interested.
Two years ago I planted a bed devoted to roses, and underplanted with white angelonia and blue daze. It was gorgeous.
Are those pictures of 1 plant or did ya'll plant a grouping? I just bought 4...2 white and 2 purple. I'm wondering if I should plant as a group or intersperse throughout the beds.
My picture was a single plant.
Wow....I had no idea. How big is the spread?
Last year it was about 12 inches. Not long after I planted it, it bloomed out and got fairly shabby looking. I sheard it back to about 6 inches high and came back fuller and bloomed even better.
Mine was one plant. I planted several, but they are interspersed thoughout the mixed plant bed. The one in the photo is a single plant. Each one is about 18 to 24 inches x same.
