Angelface® Cascade Pink Summer Snapdragon

Angelface® Cascade Pink (‘ANCASPI’) is a low, spreading summer snapdragon with pink flowers and stems that grow outward and downward. It brings color over the rim of hanging baskets and mixed containers, while its broad spread can also cover the edge of a sunny bed. ## Form and placement [Proven Winners gives this cultivar a mature height of 8–14 inches and a spread of 12–30 inches](https://admin.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/images/professional/catalogs/cast_preview_2019_opt.pdf). Use it as a spiller in a basket or raised planter, or allow room for its trailing stems in a border. The breeder describes large flowers and continuous flowering through the warm season. The registered cultivar is ‘ANCASPI’; [U.S. Plant Patent 31,217 was granted December 10, 2019](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP31217P2/en). ## Siting Choose [full sun and wait until warm weather to plant](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/angelonia-angustifolia/). Angelonia prefers fertile, well-drained soil with steady moisture as the roots establish. Proven Winners describes the Cascade series as tolerant of heat, humidity and drought. Established plants can withstand dry spells, but container plantings need more frequent checks because their mix dries quickly. In cold-winter regions, grow it as a summer annual. ## Maintenance Water new plants regularly and then adjust irrigation to rainfall, heat and container size. Angelonia generally flowers without routine deadheading. Remove damaged stems as needed, and avoid excess fertilizer that can produce leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
