Description
Antirrhinum x majus Fruit Salad Up Apricot is a brand new fragrant snapdragon, with the same floribundity as traditional varieties, but with larger, stunning, unusually shaped and wonderfully coloured flowers in pale yellow and peachy pink enhanced with carmine, densely packed in generous spikes all summer. This variety is magnificent in bouquets, and its compact height is great for rockeries, borders, flowerbeds, and pots on the terrace.
Antirrhinum, better known as snapdragon, is a genus that was formerly part of the Scrophulariaceae family, now transferred to the Plantaginaceae family. Snapdragons are herbaceous perennials or shrubs originating from America, North Africa, and mountainous regions of Europe.
The brand new 'Fruit Salad' series brings together not very hardy, perennial hybrid snapdragons with a short lifespan to be grown as annuals in most regions. These plants are upright and compact and well-branched, quickly reaching 35 cm (14in) high and about 30 cm (12in) wide. The stems bear lance-shaped dark green leaves tinged with bronze. The flowering period extends from May-June to September-October with upright flowering spikes, packed with flowers. In these selected varieties, the flowers are particularly wide, formed by wide petals in a funnel shape. In 'Fruit Salad Up Apricot', the flowers blend pale lemon yellow with soft salmon pink, with a red circle at their throat.
Snapdragons are part of our childhood memories. With small velvety flowers that smell wonderful when you bury your nose in them, they are easy plants, accessible to all gardeners, for borders, flowerbeds, or rockeries. In northern regions or heavy soil, treat them as annuals. They are perfect for cut flowers, flowerbeds, potted plants, or cottage gardens. Associate them with Damask nigella, perennial flax, and valerians (Centranthus ruber). Their flowering spikes are highlighted when emerging between bushy plants with decorative foliage (fennel, cineraria maritima, mugworts, lavender, cotton lavenders, ground cover roses). Once the plant is established, you can regularly remove faded flowers to prolong flowering.
The snapdragon owes its common name to the peculiar shape of its flowers, which resemble mouths when pinched.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
Snapdragons thrive in fertile, well-drained, even limestone, well-dug, not-too-dry soil, and in full sun. Snapdragon is not very hardy and has a short lifespan: it is therefore often grown as an annual or biennial. However, it is not uncommon to see snapdragons withstand several milder winters, but they then often become more susceptible to rust. Protect the plants from severe frost in winter, by improving soil drainage (add gravel to your garden soil, slightly elevate the planting) and covering the crowns with a thick carpet of leaves: they will come back in spring and then bloom 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.
