Add beautiful color to your garden with our collection of Angelonia seeds. These heat-loving, easy-care annuals come in shades like purple, white, and rose, with options like the Serena Mix and Angelonia Serenita series. Start growing today and enjoy these low-maintenance flowers all season long.
Is Angelonia Easy to Grow From Seed?
Yes, angelonia seeds are relatively easy to grow, especially when started indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost date. They do best with bottom heat and consistent moisture during germination. Once established, they’re low-maintenance flowers that thrive in hot, sunny spots.
If you’re new to starting flowers indoors, check out our Bio Domes to make the process even easier.
Do Angelonia Plants Like Sun or Shade?
Angelonia plants love full sun. They bloom best when they receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. In cooler climates, a little afternoon shade is fine, but full sun is key to strong stems and bright color.
What to Pair with Angelonia?
Angelonia pairs beautifully with other sun-loving annuals like zinnias and marigolds. Their upright flower spikes add height and texture to containers or garden beds. For a mix of color and form, try combining with trailing plants like sweet potato vine or calibrachoa.
Make sure to avoid planting your angelonia seeds next to shade-loving plants like ferns or astilbe. They also don’t grow well with water-hungry plants like Lobelia or Colocasia.
Do Deer and Rabbits Eat Angelonia?
Angelonia is generally deer and rabbit-resistant. While no plant is 100% safe from hungry animals, angelonia’s scented foliage and tough texture make it less appealing. This makes it a smart choice for landscapes where browsing is a problem.
If you're still worried, choose a safe repellent to keep your beautiful angelonias out of harm's way.
How Often Should I Water Angelonia?
Water your angelonia regularly during the first few weeks after planting to help their roots grow strong. Aim to keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy.
Once established, angelonia is quite drought-tolerant and only needs water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During especially hot or dry spells, increase watering slightly to keep plants from wilting.
Always check the soil before watering—angelonia doesn’t like wet feet and thrives in well-drained soil. Adding mulch around the base can also help retain moisture and keep the roots cool in extreme heat.
Can Angelonia Be Grown in Pots?
Yes, angelonia thrives in containers and window boxes. Just be sure your pots have good drainage and are placed in full sun.
Use a high-quality potting mix and feed every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer to keep the blooms coming.
