Angelonia Angelface(TM)
Large flowers, excellent garden performance and extreme heattolerance make Angelface an excellent plant choice. The foliage of thesevarieties is scented like concord grapes. Angelface needs a warm root zone toperform at its best so it is best as a late spring to early summer crop formuch of the country. Three colors (“Blue”, “White” and”Blue Bi-color”) are available.
* ThepH should be kept between 5.8 and 6.2.
* ECshould be between .6 and .9, using the 2:1 method.
* Angelfaceis responsive to growth regulators including Sumagic, B-9 and Cycocel.
* Sumagicshould be used with extreme caution since plants are very responsive to thischemical. Blue is the most responsive followed by Blue Bicolor. White is theleast responsive of the three colors. A light spray in the 3 ppm range shouldbe effective but adjust for your particular conditions.
Use of growth regulators other than Sumagic can cause flowerdelay so they should be used sparingly. Once weather is warmer and days arelonger these growth regulators can be used more easily as Angelface will beflowering in much shorter amounts of time.
* Plantswill flower in much shorter time under longer days.
* Stemstrength will increase under longer days and/or higher light.
* Useof Florel may delay flowering.
