Serenita Pink, also known as Angelonia angustifolia and Summer Snapdragon, is an annual flowering plant native to Mexico and the West Indies. Angelonia offers an upright, mounded habit of 12-14" tall and wide, with pink flowers from spring to late summer. PanAmerican developed this cultivar for exceptional performance in heat and humidity, low maintenance, good durability, and the need for fewer PGRs than the taller Serena series. Fragrant foliage and bright flowers attract pollinators and look lovely in bouquets, containers, and landscape borders. Flourishing in full sun with little more than regular water, this plant is an obvious addition to the summer garden. For a less compact variety, try Serena Mix.

1. Space plants 8" apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Water once a week or more often in drought.
3. Remove plants after frost or in the spring. Technically Angelonia is a perennial in zone 10-11, but it grows best as an annual in all zones.
General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
For best results with Serenita Pink, plant one rooted plug per 1801 cell or 4-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.5-2.0 mS/cm, temperatures of 65-76 daytime and 65-67 nighttime, and medium feed (175-225 ppm N). This plant is day-neutral and grows best in cool conditions. Don't pinch, as pinching can cause an uneven habit and delay flowering. The Serenita series requires fewer PGRs than the Serena series, and may need no PGR under cool growing conditions. Apply a mix of daminozide and chlormequat or a paclobutrazol drench two weeks after transplanting. Watch for aphids and powdery mildew.
Flowering
Pink flowers bloom from spring through summer.
Pinching
Don't pinch this plant. Pinching can cause an uneven habit and delay flowering.
Spacing
Grow Angelonia pot tight in 1801s or 4-inch containers. Space them as they reach their final size to keep foliage from touching.
Height Control
Apply PGRs two weeks after transplant. Use a mix of daminozide and chlormequat at 2,500/500 tank mix or 2,500/750 spray or apply a paclobutrazol drench at 3-5 ppm in warm climates. Grown under cool conditions, the Serenita series may not require PGRs at all.
Pests
You may see aphids.
Disease
Serenita Pink isn't prone to disease, but powdery mildew can develop. Take preventative measures in your greenhouse. Always use new media for planting and practice sanitary disposal of any infected plants. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and allow the soil to dry between waterings. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse and be sure sunlight and air can reach the soil level of each plant.
Planting Serenita Pink Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 1801 cell or 4-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered in the container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
