Common Name:
Summer snapdragon ‘Archangel White’
Description:
Angelonia ‘Archangel White’ is a compact, upright flowering perennial valued for its crisp white flower spikes and long-lasting performance through the warmer months. It produces masses of elegant snapdragon-like blooms above tidy green foliage, bringing freshness and brightness to garden beds, borders, and containers from late spring through summer and often into autumn in Melbourne conditions. This variety is especially appreciated for its heat tolerance, tidy habit, and continuous flowering with very little maintenance. Best planted in a sunny position with well-drained soil, it is ideal for formal or cottage-style plantings, seasonal colour displays, and decorative pots. In Melbourne, it performs best in warm weather and is often grown as a seasonal perennial or annual depending on winter conditions.
