CORAL & CREAM DWARF SNAPPIES

Antirrhinum majus ‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ is a great new dwarf Snapdragon.
Perfect for garden display and a showstopper in pots. 

Loaded with coral-pink & cream snappies

‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ is a powerball of coral-pink, cherry and cream snapdragon flowers.
Growing as a tight, rounded globe of a plant, just power packed with lovely colour.
At times the flowers are so thick it is difficult to see any foliage.

Dwarf mounding plant with full size blooms

Antirrhinum majus ‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ is a true dwarf Snappie.
So it bears loaded spires of full size flowers, but covering a low mounding plant.
Approx. 15-25cm. High x 30-40cm. Wide.

Plus sweet fragrance

Unlike many older Snapdragons, ‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ also has a sweet, gentle fragrance.

Recently bred for dramatic colour & long blooming

‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ has been recently bred especially for smaller gardens and pots.
And to be tough and trouble-free, with enhanced disease resistance, perfect for the modern home gardener.
It has an exceptionally early, long, and prolific flowering, and is known for its ability to just keep on blooming continuously. So the sweet scent is also continuously produced.

Early start with flowers

Flowering begins in early spring if you sow seed during winter for an early planting.
Flowers then continue on until the first frosts.

Easy to raise from seed 

‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ is very satisfying to raise from seed – as it is quick and easy to germinate and quickly grows on to make such a colour blast in the garden or a feature pot.

Quick from seed to flower

Antirrhinum majus ‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ can be in flower in as little as 10-12 weeks after sowing the seed.

‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ is a monty for pots & edges

‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ is striking planted as the front edge of a garden bed, or as a contrast accent at a corner.
And it is is a wow in pots.

Edible flowers

Snapdragon flowers are deliciously edible and make a sweet treat in salads, stir fries, fruit salads, drinks and as garnish.
So plant some in your veggie patch for both nibbling and cutting for vases.
Or just for letting the kids “snap” the Dragon’s jaws. Kids adore plucking the flowers and working the dragon’s mouth.

Deer & rabbit resistant

Happily rabbits and deer do not enjoy the flowers as we do, and usually pass by to tastier fodder. 

Easy garden grower

Plant ‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ in Sun to Part Shade.
It also suits a wide range of soils, including sandy or clay, as long as the position is well drained.

Garden highlights for years to come

Antirrhinum majus ‘Snapshot Coral Bicolor’ is actually a short lived perennial and will go on blooming for several years if left in the garden over winter.
But because they are so quick and easy to raise from seed, and fast to bring to flower from seed, they are often treated as annual.
Personally I leave mine in the garden from year to year instead, and just trim them back to reshoot each spring.
They will also self-sow in the garden for new baby plants next year.

SEED SOWING ADVICE: QUICK & EASY
Suitable for beginners & gardening with kids

Sow at any time indoors in a punnet for an early start with flowers. Or scatter directly in garden in winter and spring.

Sow indoors for quick & early plants: First sow the seeds on the surface of good quality seed raising mix.
Then pat the surface lightly to ensure good contact of seeds to the mix, but do not cover.
Because these seeds need light to germinate.

Now thoroughly moisten the sown punnet by standing it in a shallow water bath and allow the moisture to percolate to the surface of the mix from below.

Then place it in a warm, well lit position (not in direct sunlight).

Because temperatures of 15-25C are best for optimum and rapid germination.
You can also use a heat mat if you have one.
Though it is not essential as these seeds are willing germinators.

Then continue to keep moist by misting from a spray water bottle.
Covering the punnet with a clear lid or plastic bag will also help to maintain consistent moisture.
Remove cover once germination has commenced.

Seeds germinate in approx. 10-15 days.

Seed Count: 20 seeds approx. per pack.
(We always aim to exceed the stated seed count and give a generous serve).
