Description:
The Angelonia Angelface series bears tall spikes of flowers in vibrant colours and bloom constantly from spring to late autumn. They are sun lovers that revel in the heat of summer. In shades of pink, dark blue and pale blue, white and bi-colour, they blend into almost every planting scheme. Growing to 35cm they can be used as background planting in garden borders. They look splendid in drifts or clumps in sunny beds, especially when planted with contrasting silver-grey leafed plants or mixed in with other flowering perennials. Also suitable as a cut flower. Angelface Sky Blue flowers a fade-proof light blue.
