Re: Angelonia

Hi Denise;
Taylor's Encyclopedia of Gardening says it is from tropical America and
grown usually only in (warm-65 deg. or above) the greenhouse. Outdoor
cult. possible only in protected parts of zone (USDA) 9.  Blooms in May. 
Not much more information other then a description.
Happy Gardening,
Richard
