Just found the label and I was wrongn - they are called Angelonia. New to me!

I have some angelonia in a pot; they aren't filling out as well as I'd hoped.

Laura, these look a bit bigger in the pohot than they are and have not spread an awful lot as yet. Do you know if they will come again next year?

I had these last year they are pretty but didn`t over winter...

Thanks Elsie, I thought they looked a bit fragile to survive in our climate. Better enjoy them while I can lol.

Mine just aren't growing. The label said they'd reach 18 or 24 inches, I think, but they haven't come even close. I'm disappointed. I see these every year and haven''t bought them until now.

Must admi t Laura, mine haven't really grown any taller. They are a bit bushier and have plenty of flowers coming on them but they don't look like they will spread much.

'Fraid not - I admit that I buy Angelonias as plugs every year, to pop into spaces at the end of the season - but they're annuals, most definitely, at least they are in the UK! They don't spread much, either, but I have a soft spot for them. :-)

I can see why Spritz they are really pretty. Never mind I'll look on it as a chance to try something different when they are gone.

I saw the price of plants in the Garden Centre 2 or 3 weeks ago - £3.99 for a pot, and the plants were no bigger than mine! I shall carry on buying them as plugs, as I get I think 16 for around £11. It really is no bother growing them on, after all!

Mine came in a tray of 6 and I think if I remember rightly they were about four pounds the lot, all of them full of buds from the Supermarket Garden Cenrtre.
