Description

Antirrhinum x majus Fruit Salad Up Yellow is a new, highly fragrant snapdragon with just as many flowers as traditional varieties. Its beautifully large, unusually shaped and wonderfully coloured pale yellow flowers with vivid red markings create a breathtaking spectacle, densely packed in generous spikes all summer. This variety is simply stunning as a cut flower, and its compact habit works well in rockeries, borders, flower beds, and on the terrace in summer containers.

 

Antirrhinum, better known as snapdragon, is a genus that was formerly part of the Scrophulariaceae family, but is now transferred to the Plantaginaceae family. Snapdragons are herbaceous perennials or shrubs, originating from America, North Africa, and mountainous regions of Europe.

The brand new 'Fruit Salad' series brings together perennial but short-lived, not very hardy snapdragon hybrids that are best grown as annuals in most regions. These plants are upright, compact and well-branched, quickly reaching 35 cm (14in) high and 30 cm (12in) wide. The stems bear lance-shaped dark green leaves tinged with bronze. It flowers from May-June to September-October with upright spikes, abundantly covered with flowers. In these selected 'Fruit Salad' varieties, the flowers are particularly wide, funnel-shaped, and have large petals. In 'Fruit Salad Up Yellow', the flowers are cream-yellow with a warmer yellow throat marked with small red spots.

 

Snapdragons are part of our childhood memories. With their small velvety flowers that smell lovely when you bury your nose in them, they are easy to grow for all gardeners in borders, flower beds, or rockeries. In the north or in heavy soil, treat them as annuals. Varieties like 'Fruit Salad' are perfect for cut flowers, flower beds, flowering pots, or cottage gardens with Damask nigella, perennial flax, and valerian (Centranthus ruber). Their flower spikes are highlighted when emerging between bushy plants with decorative foliage (fennel, cineraria maritima, wormwood, lavender, cotton lavender, ground cover roses). Once the plant is established you can regularly remove faded flowers to prolong flowering.

Snapdragons owe their common name to the particular shape of their flowers, which resemble a mouth when pinched.

 

Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care

Antirrhinums thrive in fertile, well-drained, even limestone, well-dug, not-too-dry soil, in full sun. They are not very hardy and have a short lifespan, so can be grown as an annual or biennial plant. They may withstand several mild winters, but they then become more susceptible to rust. To try to keep a particular plant, protect it from severe frost in winter, by improving soil drainage (add gravel to your garden soil, slightly raise the planting area) and covering the crown with a thick layer of leaves, they will regrow in spring and bloom earlier.
