There’s nothing like a good haircut to make a girl feel like a million bucks. It’s so true it should be Newton’s Fourth Law. But I have no idea why it feels twice as thick a week later. For example, cut some of my 18-24 inch tall upright stems covered with snapdragon-y blue-purplish flowers and guess what? In a few days I’ll look every bit as bushy as before. So sharpen up those pruners, baby. I look terrific in a vase. You won’t see me going all floppy and falling apart in fifteen minutes, no way. I’ll keep my looks for 10 days+. Change the water every other day and it could be 10++.
Container, bed, planter or border: I’ll stay my usual fabulous self even in the South and Midwest’s notorious heat and humidity. By August when most plants look deep fried, I look fresh as an, um, Angelonia. That’s because I’m a Proven Winners hybrid – a much improved version of an old-fashioned Angelonia (a.k.a. summer snapdragon). Drought tolerant. Full sun. Annual except in zones 10 – 11. No deadheading. Beautiful, tough and vigorous from spring until the first hard frost. Sounds like a Fifth Law to me.

*Even drought tolerant annual and perennial plants will need water for the first few weeks while they get established. Shrubs and trees will need to be watered for the first year after they are planted. After this, little or no supplemental water will be necessary when planted in the ground. No plant is truly drought tolerant in a container; water is necessary for all plants in containers.
