Common Name:
Summer snapdragon ‘Archangel Raspberry’
Description:
Angelonia ‘Archangel Raspberry’ is a compact, upright flowering perennial prized for its vibrant raspberry-pink flower spikes and exceptional heat tolerance. It produces an abundance of snapdragon-like blooms held above neat green foliage, delivering a bold and long-lasting display from late spring through summer and often into autumn in Melbourne conditions. This variety is bred for strong garden performance, maintaining a tidy shape while flowering continuously with minimal maintenance. Best suited to a sunny position with well-drained soil, it is ideal for borders, mass plantings, and decorative pots where consistent colour is desired. In Melbourne, it thrives through the warmer months and is commonly grown as a seasonal perennial or annual depending on winter conditions.
