Description
Antirrhinum nanum 'Twinny Peach' F1 Hybrid, also known as dwarf snapdragon, is a new variety that is among the best in its category. It is the first dwarf F1 hybrid variety with double flowers. It produces an abundance of long-lasting flowers in a peachy pink colour, above a compact and branching plant. Its tight stems in a round bouquet are superb in borders and flower pots. It is also an excellent cut flower. It is either annual or perennial, depending on the climate and soil it is grown in (but who cares, considering its floribundity!). Familiar in cottage gardens, snapdragons are accommodating plants that thrive in fertile and well-drained soil, with plenty of sunlight.
Known in gardens since 1583, Antirrhinum majus was a favoured plant in monastery and cottage gardens. It belongs to the Plantaginaceae family. The 'Twinny Peach F1 Hybrid' variety stands out for its particularly branching and compact habit, and its double flowers with delightful shades. This short-lived perennial forms a clump measuring 40cm (15.7 in) in height and 35cm (13.8 in) in width in the year following its sowing. Its erect, single or branched stems are covered with leaves that are opposite or alternate, lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, entire, and glabrous, with a beautiful dark green colour. The flowering period extends from May-June to September-October, until the first frosts. This variety produces dense spikes, solidly built, covered with large double tubular flowers that are closed at the tip, making them inaccessible to pollinating insects. This characteristic allows them to fade much more slowly and perpetuate the plant. They are slightly fragrant.
Snapdragons are part of our childhood memories. With their small velvety faces that emit a fragrance when you bury your nose in the flowers, they are accessible to all gardeners. They are easy to plant in borders, flower beds, or rock gardens. In cool regions and in heavy soil, treat them as annuals. Dwarf varieties like 'Twinny Peach' are perfect for cut flowers, sunny borders, rock gardens, wild gardens, fragrant gardens, or cottage gardens. For example, pair them with damask flowers, cosmos, or annual poppies. Their flower spikes stand out when emerging among bushy perennials (fennel, Senecio viravira, asters) or understory shrubs with subtle colours (wormwoods, euphorbias, Thymus hirsutus).
Snapdragon gets its vernacular name from the distinctive shape of its flowers, which, when pinched, resemble the mouths of animals.
Attention: seeds reserved for highly experienced gardeners who are used to sowing delicate seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust, barely visible to the naked eye.

Planting and care
Sow from January to March on the surface of well-drained special sowing compost. Do not cover the seeds. Place in a mini-greenhouse or a terrine in a plastic bag. Keep it at 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F) until germination, which usually takes 10 to 21 days. Light facilitates germination. Transplant the plants when they are large enough to handle into 8cm (3in) trays or pots. Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting them in the ground, after all risk of frost has gone, with a spacing of 23 to 30cm (9 to 12in) between each plant.
Snapdragons thrive in fertile, well-drained, and well-prepared soils in full sun. It is not very hardy (-7°C (19.4°F)) so it is often grown as an annual or a biennial plant. However, it is not uncommon to see snapdragons withstand several not too severe winters, but they then become more susceptible to rust. To try to preserve a beautiful variety, protect the plants from heavy frosts in winter, improve soil drainage, and cover the stumps with a thick layer of leaves or dry herbs. They will come back in spring and flower earlier.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
