Carita™ Cascade Deep Purple Angelonia

Carita™ Cascade Deep Purple (Syngenta product 70003172) is a heat-loving Angelonia angustifolia with purple flower spikes and a mounding, semi-trailing habit. Syngenta presents it as a summer basket spiller, with an 8–10-inch garden height and an 18–24-inch spread. ## Flowers and form The low, cascading stems soften the edge of hanging baskets and mixed containers, while the deep purple flowers bring color from mid-spring into summer in suitable climates. Syngenta lists both part sun and full sun, and reports a medium vigor rating. Its spread is substantially wider than its height, so leave room for the stems to trail instead of crowding neighboring plants. [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70003172) ## Site and seasonal role Plant in fertile soil with good drainage and consistent moisture; species-level guidance favors full sun, though Syngenta lists part sun as an option for this cultivar. Angelonia handles summer heat and humidity well. It is typically used as a warm-season annual where winters are cold and can be treated as a tender perennial in warm regions.

Angelonia generally continues flowering without routine deadheading. Inspect foliage for aphids or powdery mildew and remove damaged stems as needed.
