🌿 Angelonia Care | Friday Plant Chat 🌿

Acquired my first Angelonia yesterday. Mine’s the blue bi-color, which reminds me so much of wild violets. I’m adding mine to mini hybrid petunias and a lemon-coral sedum which both will trail over the pot. Im super excited to try this in my containers as well as perhaps in the cottage garden alongside my larkspur. Exciting plant!!

Congratulations! I just bought mine today!! I was walking out of the nursery, and it caught my eye so fast!! I had to buy it! Now I am on a mission to keep it healthy! I'm a beginner!

[@mralmn]

Thanks so much for this video! I was in the process of deadheading my Angelonias but thought for a second hey there are still flowers, then I saw your video and stopped right away!

[@giancolabird]

I discovered Angelonia at a local nursery. Fell in love at first sight!

[@WilliamFink-c5r]

The flowers look very much like orchids I just grabbed this plant at the grocery store very delightful

[@carleanr4051]

I bought my first summer snapdragon a few months ago at a local nursery. It’s been looking terrible lately but thanks to your video I now know to put some fertilizer on it! Still a lot of bloom time left here in central texas.

[@supremedivaful]

I've had mine for 4 years it flowered year around then went dormant for 1 year and it's blooming right now.

First year i've grown angelonia, i got 2 little plants at my little country nursery i always go to. The girl that owns it is an old family friend. She is so sweet and flowers and plants always do so good for me. She told me and my sister they came back every year. Ive done some research on it and its a annual. But thats ok, cause they are si very beautiful and very easy to grow. It said you could harvest the tiny seeds and plant them in the spring after danger of frost is gone. So i think i got seeds from them, just cut the long stem dead heads off today actally. They are on my kitchen table on some paper towels drying. It sure is worth a try. I have the beautiful purple with white. ❤

Hey guys I've been hiding out with Olympic fever. I am also an Angelonia nut. Have used them year after year but I put mine in the ground.

[@Ash-xx5zd]

When the flowers are spent, do you prune the plants anytime to the base of the plant? Like a mound for it to rebloom again?

[@kathbiddle-dutton7069]

Hi ..I’m always watching your videos 👍 thanks. I purchased 2 of these this yr as my normal plants suffered from this heat. They are already large .. ?? Do the stems that die off need trimming out?? Thanks

[@crazydaisyminds3597]

I transplanted mine last week. I live in Florida. It’s not really getting to many new flowers. What is something I can do to make it bloom more or is it that time of year we’re they aren’t blooming anymore? It’s usually 80-90s here. Should I fertilize it?

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Yes, fertilizer them, I looked them up on Google just today and you can use miracle grow or whatever you fertilizer your annuals with. I like miracle grow. Use it about every 2 weeks. I get the kind you mix with water.❤ I used some on mine today. The green looks big and lush but it's just barely flowering.❤

[@a0916035273]

I just subscribed your great channel. In Taiwan, we called them Angel Flowers.😊

[@dorothyczygmunt5232]

In the fall do you cut down or pull plants? I hope to save some seeds. Many thanks 😊

[@joannetullini6814]

Angelonia grow rather large. One plant can easily outgrow a 12 inch pot. Great plant.

[@SpokenGarden]

We really love growing this plant and with so many different varieties to choose from (and sizes), this plant can add so much more character to any garden. 👍👍

[@andreee123123]

They look like wonderful plants. Anyone know where i can get some seeds?

[@fathimafathima5412]

Lovely

[@SpokenGarden]

Thank you! We hope it was helpful!

[@christinahidalgo7201]

thanks for this info, I purchased a white Angelonia. I will look for the perfect place and my patio garden for it. 🤍

[@gtu847]

awesome video, very informative!

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Guistinna! 👋 Thank you for watching and for saying that! 😃👍

[@mummu.s_kitchen]

Nice presentation 👌 I have this plant in three shades. Thank you🙏🌹🌹🌹 From India.

[@randyhewitt936]

Can Angelonia be brought in to the indoors over winter and be brought back out come spring??

[@julievoracek1497]

Can you harvest seeds from these? What would be the process? I have several right now and would like to consider trying.

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Julie! 👋 Thank you for watching and really good question. Angelonia start to flower from the bottom each stem and then each flower progresses to open over time as you go up the stem. Knowing this, you can start looking to collect seed by finding the oldest flowers or now their seed pods down on the lower part of the stem. Look for literal round pods that should be lightly brown, but not open. You can pluck/pinch each one of these off the stem to then gently open the pod over a paper towel or in a white bowl, as the seed might pop out. That's it! Be aware that some Angelonia will have more viable seed than others, depending on how it was bred and grown. Hope that helps and have fun harvesting your Angelonia seeds! 😃👍

[@boibieg.1022]

i have 3 in the ground that are pink and doing amazingly well ! but will they die in the winter? should i leave them and hope they grow back?

[@bevhart4604]

I clicked on this bcuz it mentioned pruning them. I have been putting angel fade in the ground for years now but this yr I noticed blossoms disappearing. Not doing anything different, if it’s bugs can you recommend anything to combat?

[@Abangsaury]

Hadir bosku...sokses selalu

[@cinnasusu]

May I know the name of companion plant? Thanks.

[@susan6336]

Can these be overwintered? If so, how?

[@sappir26]

How and when should I prune my Angelonia?

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Sarah! 👋 Thank you for watching our video and asking your question. 😊 Generally, you can prune your angelonia in the very early spring right before it starts growing and all threat of frost has past. There are some who say to prune it back also in the fall, but if you have any possibility of freezing temps, pruning in the fall can expose open tissue to those cold temps that can lead to freeze damage. Also, any hard pruning in the fall of most plants can stimulate new growth and that tissue won't be hardy enough to endure any hard freezes. Hope that helps and thank you again for watching and commenting! 👍😃

is it some kind with Lavender ?
