Angelonia

Lavender angelonia (Angelonia angustifolia), often called “summer snapdragon,” is a heat-loving annual prized for its elegant spikes of delicate, lavender-purple flowers. The blossoms resemble tiny orchids and bloom profusely from late spring through fall, rising above lush, glossy green foliage. Lavender angelonia plants are compact and upright, typically reaching 12–18 inches tall, making them perfect for borders, containers, and sunny garden beds. They are drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.Interesting Fact:
Lavender angelonia is often called the “summer snapdragon” because, unlike true snapdragons, it thrives and blooms continuously in hot, humid weather—making it a favorite for summer gardens in warm climates!
