Antirrhinum majus Sweet Duet Citrus - Snapdragon

Discover the 'Sweet Duet Citrus' snapdragon with its large semi-double flowers, yellow tinged with orange. They will brighten up your beds, borders, and containers. All summer long, they will delight you with their fragrance and attract pollinating insects. Whether annual or perennial depends on the climate and soil it grows in. Easy to grow, this compact and branching snapdragon thrives in light, fertile, well-drained soil and sunny exposure.

From the scrophulariaceae family, Antirrhinum majus was an essential plant in priests' gardens. Native to the western Mediterranean Basin, it grows among rocks on arid slopes in the south of France. The Sweet Duet series is characterised by almost double flowers of large size (between 4 and 5 cm long). This snapdragon forms a well-branched upright clump that reaches 30 to 40 cm in height and 25 to 30 cm in width. Its lemon yellow flowers, tinged with orange, bloom from May-June to September-October until the first frost. Fragrant, it also brings joy to bumblebees and other butterflies.  

For a striking effect, plant densely, between 7 and 9 plants per square metre. Regularly remove faded flowers to prolong flowering. This snapdragon variety's yellow colour will pair beautifully with Envy Double Chartreuse Green Zinnias, Moody Blues Damask Nigellas with blue flowers, and, to lighten the composition, ornamental grasses like Piglet Chinese Fountain Grass.
