Alonia™ Big Snow Angelonia angustifolia

Alonia™ Big Snow is an upright Angelonia angustifolia with large white flower spikes and narrow green foliage. Danziger lists it among the ALONIA™ cultivars for early flowering, summer heat, pollinator-friendly gardens, containers, and landscape planting. ## Landscape Use The white spikes lift mixed borders, annual beds, and patio containers, and can brighten a mass planting without a strong competing color. Published size estimates vary: a specialist nursery lists about 14–16 inches high by 12–14 inches wide, while another retailer gives 18–24 inches high by 14–18 inches wide. Treat these as growing guides rather than fixed dimensions; heat, pot size, and growing time affect the plant’s final scale. ## Siting and Seasonal Display Give Angelonia full sun and well-drained soil with regular moisture during establishment. It tolerates summer heat and humidity and flowers through the warm season, often continuing until frost in mild weather. In USDA zones 9–11 it may persist as a tender perennial; in colder regions it is typically replanted as a summer annual. The [North Carolina Extension Plant Toolbox](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/angelonia-angustifolia/) describes the species’ summer flowering and moist, freely drained soil, while [Oklahoma State Extension](https://extension.okstate.edu/programs/oklahoma-proven/plant-profiles/summer-snapdragon) lists it for sunny bedding, borders, and containers. ## Breeder The [Danziger profile for Alonia™ Big Snow](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/alonia-big-snow/) identifies the cultivar and notes early flowering, upright growth, large flowers, heat tolerance, pollinator value, and pot/landscape suitability. ## Maintenance Water consistently while roots establish and during prolonged dry spells; containers dry faster than beds. Angelonia generally does not require deadheading. Remove frost-damaged stems at the end of the season and replant in cold-winter regions.
