Serenita® Rose Summer Snapdragon

Serenita® Rose is a compact Angelonia angustifolia selected for a manageable, upright-to-mounded habit and rose-colored flower spikes. It brings a long display to sunny summer beds and containers, and its relatively short stature suits the front or middle of a mixed planting. ## Garden Use and Season PanAmerican Seed describes the [Serenita series](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/004906262003332/angelonia-serenita-mixture/) as a compact, heat-tolerant seed-grown Angelonia for landscapes and containers, flowering from late spring through late summer. [Florensis lists Serenita Rose](https://www.florensis.com/en/products/bedding-plants/annuals/angelonia-angustifolia/angelonia-angustifolia-serenita) as a color form and reports a 30–40 cm series height; PanAmerican Seed gives approximately 12–14 inches for general Serenita height and spread. Conditions and production approach can affect finished size. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun in moist, well-drained soil, following [UF/IFAS Angelonia guidance](https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/angelonia/). Angelonia performs through summer heat and humidity. In colder climates it is commonly grown as a warm-season annual; in mild regions it can persist longer. Allow air movement around plants and watch for aphids or powdery mildew, as advised by [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/angelonia-angustifolia/). ## Maintenance Water while plants establish and during prolonged hot, dry weather. Once settled, routine deadheading is usually unnecessary. Avoid excessive fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
