Alonia™ Snowball Angelonia angustifolia

Alonia™ Snowball is a white-flowering Angelonia angustifolia with upright spikes of small snapdragon-like flowers. Danziger describes this early-flowering ALONIA™ cultivar as heat tolerant and suitable for pots and landscape beds, where plants can keep gaining size after planting. ## Flowers and form The white blooms rise above narrow green foliage and bring a vertical accent to sunny summer plantings. Danziger lists the exact cultivar at 10–14 inches tall by 12–14 inches wide. Allow room for airflow and use the breeder's range as a starting point, since finished size can vary with planting date, climate and container culture. [Danziger](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/alonia-snowball/) ## Site and seasonal role Angelonia performs best in full sun and fertile soil that drains well while retaining some moisture. This warm-season cultivar is useful in sunny borders, groups and containers. In cooler climates, gardeners often grow the tender species as an annual rather than trying to overwinter container plants indoors. [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/angelonia-angustifolia/common-name/angelonia/) ## Maintenance Water through establishment and during prolonged dry weather; containers may need closer attention than garden beds. Faded flowers generally need no routine removal for Angelonia to keep blooming. Check foliage for aphids or powdery mildew, which NC State Extension lists among possible problems.
