Antirrhinum copper apricot

Common Name:
Snapdragon

Description:
Antirrhinum majus 'Copper Apricot' is a compact, upright snapdragon cultivar cherished for its warm, bicoloured blooms in copper, peach, and apricot tones. These butterfly-shaped flowers appear on sturdy, uniform stems, making them ideal for both garden display and cut arrangements. Flowering from late spring through autumn, this variety thrives in Melbourne's temperate climate, especially when planted in full sun with well-drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, and pinching young plants promotes bushier growth. 'Copper Apricot' is well-suited for borders, containers, and cottage-style gardens, offering a vibrant splash of colour throughout the warmer months.
