Alonia™ Violet Angelonia angustifolia

ALONIA™ Violet is an upright Angelonia angustifolia selected for violet snapdragon-like flowers and a compact, branching habit. Danziger lists this early-flowering cultivar for landscape beds and patio pots, with medium growth and tolerance of hot conditions. ## Flowers and form The flower spikes add saturated color above narrow green leaves. Danziger's current product dimensions are 10–14 inches tall by 12–14 inches wide; the live catalog's existing dimensions fall within that range. The cultivar suits the front or middle of a sunny border, repeated groups, and containers where its upright stems can add a vertical accent.

Angelonia angustifolia tolerates summer heat and humidity and is commonly grown as a warm-season annual where winters are cold; it may persist as a tender perennial in warm-winter climates. The species flowers through summer and can continue into fall, with local timing shaped by transplant date and weather.

Routine deadheading is generally unnecessary for Angelonia. Remove damaged stems if needed and watch for aphids or powdery mildew.
