Antirrhinum SNAP IN BLACK™ ‘Apricot’

Common Name:
Snapdragon ‘Snap In Black Apricot’

Description:
Antirrhinum SNAP IN BLACK™ ‘Apricot’ is a striking annual snapdragon cultivar known for its dramatic contrast of dark foliage and soft apricot-hued blooms. The foliage begins almost black or very deep bronze‑green, which provides a bold backdrop that intensifies the delicate tones of the flowers. The blossoms are tubular with a typical snapdragon form, transitioning between warm peach, apricot and cream tones that appear luminous against the darker leaves. It produces a generous display of flowering from spring through to autumn, especially if spent blooms are regularly removed. Ideal for borders, containers or accent planting, this cultivar prefers an open, sunny position and well‑drained soil. With modest feeding and moisture, it rewards with sustained colour and architectural form in Melbourne summer gardens.
