Angelonia Archangel Dark Rose

Common Name:
Summer snapdragon ‘Archangel Dark Rose’

Description:
Angelonia ‘Archangel Dark Rose’ is a compact, upright flowering perennial commonly grown as a warm-season colour plant, prized for its rich dark rose-pink flower spikes and long blooming performance. It produces masses of snapdragon-like flowers held above tidy green foliage, creating a bright and elegant display from late spring through summer and often into autumn in Melbourne conditions. This variety is especially valued for its heat tolerance, tidy habit, and ability to flower continuously with minimal maintenance. Best grown in a sunny position with well-drained soil, it is ideal for garden borders, decorative pots, mass planting, and seasonal colour displays. In Melbourne, it performs best through the warmer months and is often treated as a seasonal perennial or annual in colder areas.
