I figured out what it is! Summer Snapdragon!

I figured out what it is! The beautiful little plant I bought on clearance at the nursery late this spring and put in next to my WB rose - it has done MARVELOUSLY and it is so stunningly interesting. The foliage is beautiful, it's a ncie height and very hardy, it thrives there. But the flowers are the most amazing; they are a brilliant purple and they have a little hollow of speckled veiny light color inside, very much like a miniature snapdragon. Which stands to reason given a variant of their common name - Summer Snapdragon! The real name is Angelonia angustifolia and the one I have looks exactly, I mean exactly, like this picture here. I got it cheap and it wasn't marked or tagged or anything. What fun to figure out what it is! It doesn't seem very common, I don't see much reference to it out there, but what do I know. Maybe it's just not so common here. I did find out the plant is sterile, it doesn't produce seeds. In many zones you grow it as a perennial and can dig and divide it to grow more, but here it won't survive our harsh winters so it is an annual at best. The only way to make more is by tip cuttings. Sooooo I definitely need to get on that tomorrow! I would be so sad if I couldn't find any more next year. I'd have these all over my garden.
