Antirrhinum SNAP IN BLACK™ ‘Hot Pink’

Common Name:
Snapdragon 'Hot Pink' (SNAP IN BLACK™ series)

Description:
Antirrhinum SNAP IN BLACK™ ‘Hot Pink’ is a bold and modern take on the classic snapdragon, bred for intense colour, dramatic foliage, and exceptional performance in Australian gardens. This cultivar is part of the SNAP IN BLACK™ series, known for its striking dark, almost black, foliage which offers strong contrast to its vivid hot pink blooms. With upright flower spikes and a compact growth habit, it’s a standout choice for gardeners wanting a splash of long-lasting seasonal colour. These snapdragons thrive in Melbourne’s temperate conditions, preferring well-drained soil and a sunny position. They are cool-season performers, with flowering beginning in mid to late autumn and often continuing through to late spring, particularly with deadheading. Ideal for garden beds, containers, or as cut flowers, these vibrant blooms not only add visual appeal but also attract beneficial pollinators like bees.
