Snapdragon - Mix

Common Name:
Snapdragon Mix

Description:
Antirrhinum spp. Snapdragon Mix is a colourful and versatile flowering perennial commonly grown as an annual, prized for its tall spikes of uniquely shaped blooms in a vibrant range of colours. Producing flowers in shades of white, cream, yellow, pink, peach, red and soft pastel tones, this mix provides months of colour from autumn through spring in Melbourne's climate, often extending into early summer in cooler conditions. The upright flower spikes rise above neat, bushy foliage, creating excellent vertical interest in garden beds, borders, cottage gardens and container displays. Snapdragons thrive in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, rewarding gardeners with continuous flowering when regularly deadheaded. Their long-lasting blooms are highly attractive to bees and make excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements. With their cheerful colours and reliable performance, Snapdragon Mix is a favourite choice for seasonal colour and cottage-style plantings.
