Know before you buy
In most climates, this plant is treated as an annual. It can behave as a perennial only in warmer zones where temperatures remain consistently mild.
Very little. It is self-cleaning, meaning it requires minimal deadheading to continue producing blooms from late spring until the first frost.
Yes, the Archangel White is bred for resilience. It is highly tolerant of both heat and drought, making it a dependable choice for hot, sunny garden spots.
For the best results, space each plant 10 to 12 inches apart. This allows enough room for the foliage to fill in while maintaining proper airflow.
At maturity, you can expect the Archangel White to reach a height of 12 to 14 inches. Its sturdy, upright stems make it an excellent choice for adding vertical texture to garden beds.
