AngelMist® Spreading Bluebird Summer Snapdragon

AngelMist® Spreading Bluebird is a low, spreading Angelonia with blue bicolor flowers that shift toward lavender-blue in summer heat. Ball FloraPlant identifies its cultivar as ‘Balangspird’ and lists it for beds, baskets, and low groundcover use. ## Garden Use and Season The breeder gives a mature height of 4–10 inches and spread of 12–20 inches. Its spreading habit can soften the edge of a sunny bed or trail from a basket, while the blue flowers add a cool note to summer plantings. NC State Extension describes Angelonia angustifolia as a long-blooming summer plant for borders and containers. ## Growing Conditions Grow in full sun and moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Angelonia tolerates summer heat and humidity; established plants also tolerate some dryness. Give newly planted stock regular water until rooted, then avoid prolonged wetness. In warm, frost-free regions it may persist as a perennial, while cooler gardens usually use it as a seasonal annual. Ball FloraPlant lists cultivar ‘Balangspird’ and protection number PP29,260.

The breeder’s pinch guidance concerns production shaping; routine garden deadheading is generally unnecessary. Use a well-drained mix in baskets and check containers during hot, dry spells.
