Bring Months of Colour with Angelonia 'Serena Mix'

Angelonia angustifolia, commonly known as Summer Snapdragon, is prized for its upright growth and profusion of snapdragon-like blooms. The 'Serena Mix' offers a vibrant palette that keeps your garden lively from late spring right through to autumn.

• Long Flowering Season: Enjoy continuous colour from May until the first frosts—perfect for filling gaps in beds or brightening patio containers.
• Dramatic Structure: Erect flower spikes reach up to 30cm (12 inches), adding height and architectural interest to any planting scheme.
• Low Maintenance: Angelonia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering.
• Tough & Resilient: This bedding plant is heat-tolerant and copes well with the British summer, making it ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners.
• Unique Appeal: The snapdragon-like flowers attract pollinators and offer an alternative to traditional bedding plants like petunias or marigolds.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Set out garden-ready plants after the risk of frost has passed, typically from late April onwards.
