- Width 12-18 Inches
- Use as a thriller when using in containers
- Continuous frosty lavender blooms!
Revisit Grandma’s garden by planting this improved hybrid of Angelonia, a summer snapdragon. This continuous bloomer will stand its own in a border along your drive or sidewalk, and lends itself to container gardens with its semi-upright, full branching habit. Its frosty lavender color blends beautifully with dark purples, whites and light pinks. A plus: the lance-like medium green leaves emit a fragrance reminiscent of grape soda.
Angelonia is a native to Mexico and the West Indies and like its ancestor, AngelFace Steel Blue will enjoy the deep South, or the Southwest US (with a little extra water in the driest areas) and all other regions. Perennial in Zones 10a, 10b, 11a and 11b, this flower is an annual in Zones 3-9. Light lavender flowers, with contrasting color angel faces, will light up a part sun area, but this looker prefers full sun when possible.
Angelface Steel Blue Summer Snapdragon Care
Woodland fringe gardeners, here is your foundation plant that likes slightly acidic soil. Dress with a couple inches of compost for a dazzling display of flowers all season long. A beautiful addition to your spring, summer and fall garden, this rebloomer will happily fill that troublesome spot that is too wet or too dry, is drought tolerant and is not attractive to deer.
Not fond of deadheading to maintain continued blooms? AngelFace Steel Blue does not require deadheading and will not reseed and take over your garden. Another benefit of this beautiful annual is that it will provide you a nearly unending supply of cut flowers for your floral arrangements. No pruning needed here.
Angelface Steel Blue Summer Snapdragon Spacing
With a full height of 24 to 30 inches and width of 12 to 16 inches, this annual will compliment a colorful mixture of annuals and perennials in an informal cottage garden as well. Just give it elbow room by planting 12-24 inches apart to help facilitate air flow and prevent powdery mildew, one of the few problems this plant can experience and in warm humid climates it will double and triple its size.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
