Angelonia Care Instructions

Angelonia, also known as Summer Snapdragon, brings long-lasting color to Chicago gardens. Here’s how to care for them:

Planting Angelonia:

• Location: Angelonia thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
• Spacing: Plant Angelonia about 12-18 inches apart to allow for good air circulation.

Caring for Angelonia:

• Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot.
• Feeding: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time, and then every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowering and keep the plants looking tidy. Pinch back the stems occasionally to promote bushier growth.

Angelonia is a low-maintenance plant that provides continuous color throughout the summer. With proper care, they will be a vibrant addition to your garden.
