More About Angelonia ‘Archangel® White’

Angelonia ‘Archangel® White’ is a premium, large-growing summer snapdragon bred for maximum height, strength, and flower impact. Its tall, upright flower spikes are packed with crisp white blooms that stay bright and clean even during the hottest, most humid parts of summer.

Part of the Archangel® series, this variety was selected for vigorous growth, thick stems, and excellent branching. Unlike smaller or more compact Angelonia types, ‘Archangel® White’ is designed to function as a true vertical anchor in the garden, providing height and structure without flopping or stretching.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Archangel® White’ has proven to be one of the most heat-tolerant and dependable tall annuals we grow. It establishes quickly, holds its upright form without staking, and continues flowering steadily from late spring through frost.

We especially like its performance in large-scale plantings. It works beautifully in mixed borders, mass annual beds, and oversized containers where strong vertical presence is needed. The clean white blooms provide contrast among bold summer colors and pair effortlessly with both bright and pastel palettes. Foliage remains clean with very little disease or pest pressure.

Archangel™ White vs Other Angelonia

Archangel™ White occupies a middle ground between the towering presence of Alonia™ Big Snow and the more compact AngelFlare™ Series. While it doesn’t reach Big Snow’s height, it offers a fuller, more robust habit than the AngelFlare™ Varieties. Compared to Angel Mist™ Spreading White, it remains upright and structured rather than trailing, and it pairs well with the deeper tones of Archangel™ Dark Purple.

For gardeners who want a dependable white Angelonia with substance and balance, Archangel™ White is one of the most versatile choices. It delivers consistency, strong branching, and clean color without overwhelming neighboring plants.
