Snapdragon 'Orange Wonder'
Snapdragon 'Orange Wonder'
A bullet-proof cut flower with a strong 'cocktails-on-the-beach' vibe. Salmon pink, bright orange and soft yellow all on one stem - sounds OTT but somehow it's just right. Our selection of 'Orange Wonder' has a mix of bright colours as well as plants with more muted colouring. This joyous plant has become a firm farm favourite, brightening up our summer with flowers from June to September.
It's fantastically easy to grow and is short-lived perennial so one sowing will give you flowers for a good few years. Bumblebees love snapdragons so it's a must-grow if you'd like to attract more to your garden.
Sow: Valentines day to end of March or Sept-Oct for overwintering. Broadcast in seed trays and prick out (seeds are very small)
Plant: 20-30cm apart
Harvest: For longest vase life harvest when only 2 or 3 flowers have opened.
Vase: Expect vase life of a week or longer.
Notes: Overwinters best in free-draining soils.
