Antirrhinum SNAP IN BLACK™ 'Pale Pink’

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

Description:
Antirrhinum SNAP IN BLACK™ ‘Pale Pink’ offers a delicate pastel twist on the dramatic SNAP IN BLACK™ series, known for its signature near-black foliage. The contrast between the soft, romantic pale pink blooms and the deep-toned leaves creates a striking effect in garden beds, borders, and pots. Bred for both aesthetic appeal and performance, this cultivar holds its flower spikes upright, delivering months of continuous colour through Melbourne's cooler months. Best grown in well-drained soil with plenty of sun, this snapdragon thrives in the mild temperatures of autumn, winter, and spring. Regular deadheading encourages repeat flowering, and the plant’s compact form makes it a standout for smaller spaces or mass plantings. Its nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees and make excellent cut flowers for soft seasonal arrangements.
