Antirrhinum majus Sweet Duet Peach - Snapdragon

The 'Sweet Duet Peach' snapdragon offers you, all summer long, large semi-double and fragrant flowers. Bright orange, they will brighten up your flower beds and pots. They also bring joy to pollinating insects. Whether annual or perennial, it depends on the climate and soil it grows. Easy to grow, this compact snapdragon appreciates light, fertile, and well-drained soils and a sunny exposure.

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 arid slopes in southern France. The Sweet Duet series is characterised by almost double and large flowers (between 4 and 5 cm long). The Sweet Duet Peach snapdragon forms a well-branched upright clump that does not exceed 40 cm in height and 30 cm in width. From May-June to September-October, until the first frost, it is covered with spikes of large bright orange flowers, fragrant, that attract bumblebees and other butterflies.  

With its compact and well-branched habit, the Sweet Duet Peach snapdragon will find its place in all gardens, a flower bed, a border, or even a pot. To increase the visual impact, don't hesitate to plant it densely, between 7 and 9 plants per m². Prolong its flowering by regularly removing faded flowers. Pair the bright orange of the Sweet Duet Peach variety with the tropical zinnia elegans Queen Red Lime and the California Sunset sage with apricot-orange flowers. To add some lightness to the ensemble, consider grasses, such as Pennisetum alopecuroides Piglet.
