Carita™ Cascade Raspberry Angelonia

Carita™ Cascade Raspberry is a compact, mounding, semi-trailing angelonia bred for baskets and mixed containers. Its rose-pink flower spikes appear from mid-spring into summer, while the plant stays about 8–10 inches tall and spreads 18–24 inches. ## Siting and use Syngenta lists this exact selection as an annual with part-sun to full-sun exposure and identifies it as a heat-loving, pollinator-friendly basket filler and spiller. Use it where the wider cascade can soften a container edge or front a warm-season bed. For soil, the species guidance from [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/angelonia-angustifolia/) favors fertile, moist but well-drained ground; it also notes some drought tolerance and good heat and humidity tolerance. In containers, check moisture more often as the mix dries faster. ## Seasonal care The [Syngenta cultivar profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70018119) gives a mid-spring, late-spring and summer flowering window. Its dimensions are much wider than its height, so leave room for the trailing growth. ## Maintenance NC State Extension reports that angelonia does not need deadheading or staking. Keep container soil from drying completely during active growth, and remove damaged stems as needed.
