Antirrhinum majus Sweet Duet Appleblossom - Snapdragon

The 'Sweet Duet Appleblossom' snapdragon stands out with its large semi-double flowers in a very soft pink, easy to mix and match in your borders and containers. All summer long, they release their fragrance and attract pollinating insects. Annual or perennial, it depends on the climate and soil in which it is planted. Plant this compact and ramified snapdragon in light, fertile, and well-drained soil in full sun.

From the scrophulariaceae family, the Antirrhinum majus was an essential plant in priests' gardens. Native to the western Mediterranean Basin, it grows among rocks on the arid slopes of the South of France. The Sweet Duet series is characterised by almost double and large flowers (between 4 and 5 cm long). This perennial forms an upright and well-branched clump that reaches 30 to 40 cm in height and 25 to 30 cm in spread. Its pink flowering extends from May-June to September-October until the first frost. Fragrant, it also delights bumblebees and other butterflies.  

This compact variety will find its place in all gardens, whether in a border, a flower bed, or even containers. Plant them closely for a more impactful visual effect, between 7 and 9 plants per square metre. To prolong its flowering, regularly remove faded flowers. The soft pink colour of this snapdragon variety will blend beautifully with the grass Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’ for its light appearance, the Black Prince snapdragon with its purple flowers, and the Europa Phlox paniculata with its pale pink flowers.
