RE: Angelonia

Hi,

Although I don't actually know too much about this plant, I do have several 
out in the garden...I'll tell you what the tag says: " Angelonia 'Blue 
Pacific': Striped violet-white exquisite flowers along 15" upright stems. 
Constant bloomer. Sun. Annual." It's from a local wholesale grower here on the 
Island, Cathy Pufahl, out of her "Beds&Borders" nursery. She's got some great 
stuff!!

So, I planted mine out about a week ago, and it's just sitting there, but it's 
been quite inconsistent with the weather, and I have every confidence that as 
soon as it stays warm for several days in a row (like it is right now) that it 
will "do something"!

I have never heard of this plant ,I looked it up in some of my books it
had or has no reference,although I looked in my trusty Dictionary of
plant names and the only reference it has is "Greenhouse flowering
plants" Maybe someone can be of more help that is in Florida or So. Cal.
