Description
L'Antirrhinum majus ‘Orleans Lilac’ F1 est une excellente variété de muflier pour la saison chaude : elle produit des épis floraux de couleur lilas réguliers, portés par des tiges droites, parfaites pour le jardin comme pour la fleur coupée. Cette sélection se plante du début du printemps au début de l'été, pour une floraison soutenue de juin à septembre, aussi bien en pleine terre que sous un tunnel léger.
L'Antirrhinum majus appartient à la famille des Plantaginacées (anciennement rangé parmi les Scrofulariacées). Cette espèce botanique est originaire du pourtour méditerranéen occidental, du sud-centre de la France et des Pyrénées orientales jusqu’au nord-est de l’Espagne et aux Baléares.
Cette variété ‘Orleans Lilac’ F1 fait partie de la série Orleans d'Evanthia Genetics, un hybride F1 moderne sélectionné pour des hampes florales longues, une uniformité de floraison et un cycle court en conditions de jours longs et de forte luminosité ; le code « III–IV » indique que la floraison a lieu de la fin du printemps jusqu'à l'été.
La plante présente un port érigé, ramifié à partir de la base ; en pleine terre, les sujets atteignent 66 à 86 cm de haut, selon les conditions de culture et la technique de pincement. En pot, avec un pincement des jeunes plants à 4–6 feuilles, on obtient des sujets plus trapus, souvent autour de 40–60 cm, tout en favorisant des ramifications florifères. Les tiges sont fermes, elles deviennent parfois légèrement lignifiées vers la base en fin de saison. Le feuillage est caduc, vert moyen ; les feuilles, lancéolées à ovales, mesurent en moyenne 1 à 7 cm de long et sont disposées de façon spiralée sur les tiges.
Les inflorescences sont des épis terminaux denses ; chaque fleur mesure 3,5 à 4,5 cm de long et présente deux lèvres bien marquées. ‘Orleans Lilac’ donne des épis bien remplis, à dominante lilas pourpré sur la partie haute et fleurit durant 8 à 12 semaines après plantation. La période de floraison s’étend de fin mai-juin jusqu’à septembre selon la date du semis. Les fleurs sont légèrement parfumées et très mellifères ; la pollinisation est assurée notamment par les bourdons capables d’ouvrir la « gueule » de la fleur. Après la floraison, la plante produit des capsules contenant de très nombreuses graines fines. Les tiges coupées se gardent en moyenne une semaine (7 à 10 jours) dans l'eau fraîche.
Semez ce muflier 'Orléans' sous abri en fin d’hiver pour repiquer les plantes au soleil dans un sol léger, frais, mais bien drainé. Les séries comme 'Orléans' sont idéales pour garnir les massifs d’été et le carré de fleurs à couper ; espacez vos plants de 25–30 cm, paillez pour conserver l’humidité et pincez tôt pour multiplier les hampes. En pot, choisissez un contenant d’au moins 30 cm de diamètre avec un substrat riche et drainant, tuteurez si l’emplacement est venté.
Les teintes lilas se marient particulièrement bien avec des roses abricotés, des blancs et des verts anis : créez de belles compositions avec le Cosmos ‘Apricot Lemonade’, l'Ammi majus 'Queen of Africa', et le Zinnia ‘Queeny Lime Orange’ pour faire des bouquets tout l’été. Dans un massif, associez ce muflier 'Orleans Lilac' à la sauge arbustive ‘Hot Lips’ ou au Gaura lindheimeri ‘Whirling Butterflies’ et glissez quelques plants de Dahlia ‘Café au Lait’.
Attention, graines réservées aux jardiniers très expérimentés ayant l'habitude de semer des graines très fines. Ces graines sont aussi fines que de la poussière, à peine visibles à l'œil nu.

Planting and care
Sow Antirrhinum majus F1 'Orleans Lilac IV' from February-March to May on the surface of a well-drained special sowing compost. Do not cover the seeds, as light aids germination. Place your tray or box in a mini greenhouse or plastic bag, maintaining an ideal temperature of 20-24°C until germination, which usually takes 7 to 14 days. Transplant the young plants when they are large enough to handle into 8 cm pots or containers. Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting them out in the open ground after all risk of frost has passed, spacing them 25 to 30 cm apart. Flowering begins 100 to 110 days after sowing.
Snapdragons thrive in fertile, well-drained, deeply cultivated soils and in full sun. The great snapdragon is not very hardy (-6°C), so it is often grown as an annual or biennial. However, it is not uncommon for snapdragons to survive several mild winters, but they then become more susceptible to rust... To try to preserve a beautiful variety, protect the plants from severe frost in winter by ensuring good soil drainage and covering the stumps with a thick carpet of leaves or dry herbs: they will regrow 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).
