How to grow
How To Grow Angelonia From Seed: Angelonia seeds can be started indoors. Grow in loam-based potting compost in full light, with filtered light in the summer. Water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly. Containerized plants are best discarded after flowering.
If started outdoors, grow in moist but well-drained, fertile soil in full sun. Seeds must not be covered or buried and need to be kept moist, but not wet until germination.
