Description
The Angelonia angustifolia Archangel Cherry Red is part of a new line of angelonias selected for their excellent heat resistance and large flowers. This wonderful annual plant offers endless flowering from June to October, in long upright clusters adorned with beautiful red flowers that create a very decorative tuft. Angelonia is perfect in pots, containers, and hanging baskets, as well as in sunny borders with well-draining soil. It tolerates relative drought and requires little maintenance.
The Angelonia angustifolia Archangel Cherry Red is a plant from the scrophulariaceae family, just like snapdragons. Its wild ancestor is native to Mexico, Central America, and tropical South America. The apparent delicacy of this plant hides great robustness, as it tolerates relative drought when planted in the ground. This tender plant, perennial in its native lands, has given rise to numerous cultivars that share good heat tolerance and seem unattractive to insects and diseases. 'Archangel Cherry Red' grows into a 35-40 cm (14-16in) tuft in all directions when in bloom. The plant continuously produces upright flowering stems from June to October, adorned with numerous intensely red, dark-throated, two-lipped flowers. They resemble both small orchids and snapdragons. The flowers open above the foliage, composed of small, long, narrow, shiny green leaves that release an aromatic scent when crushed, arranged alternately on the stems. In regions with mild climates, Angelonia can self-seed in light soil.
The Angelonia Archangel Cherry Red is an essential terrace plant, easy to pair with other plants, ideal for quickly creating a summer setting. This plant is resistant to heat and rain. It is a good choice for flower beds, containers, and rock gardens. It looks fantastic in large floral arrangements, combined with dark-leaved petunias or ipomoeas, trailing geraniums, diascas, trailing verbenas, and many other sun-loving species. It also produces long-lasting cut flowers.

Planting and care
Plant your Angelonia Archangel in a sunny or possibly semi-shaded position. They require a light, well-draining and humus-rich soil and appreciate fertilization. They tolerate rather dry soil quite well if planted in the ground (although flowering will be interrupted in case of excessively dry soil). You can plant your Angelonia in a pot or in the ground. In a pot, they need to be regularly watered. Regularly remove faded flowers, as this will promote the appearance of new flowers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
