Antirrhinum SNAP IN BLACK™ ‘Raspberry’

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

Description:
Antirrhinum SNAP IN BLACK™ ‘Raspberry’ is a vibrant cultivar from the SNAP IN BLACK™ series, celebrated for its unique combination of rich raspberry-coloured blooms and dark, near-black foliage. This striking contrast brings a bold and modern flair to garden designs, offering visual interest throughout the cooler months in Melbourne. The upright flower spikes are densely packed, providing long-lasting colour from autumn through to late spring, particularly when regularly deadheaded. With a tidy, mounding habit, ‘Raspberry’ is perfect for garden beds, edging, or container planting. It performs best in full sun or part shade, in well-drained soil, and benefits from occasional feeding during its flowering season. This variety is not only decorative but also highly functional, attracting bees and suiting both mass plantings and feature displays. Its sturdy stems and vivid colour also make it excellent for cut flower use.
