Growing Archangel Cherry Red
Choose a full-sun location with soil that drains well. Water regularly as plants establish and during extended dry weather, especially in patio pots. Once rooted in, angelonia is a dependable warm-season performer in Alabama’s heat and humidity, provided roots are not kept waterlogged. A light trim can help freshen plants and encourage new growth as the season progresses.
Mature size: Approximately 12–24 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide. Flowering: Late spring through fall in favorable conditions. Winter care: Usually treated as a warm-season annual in areas that experience freezes.
