Antirrhinum 'Snap in Black Raspberry'

Richly coloured and full of impact, this snapdragon brings a contemporary edge to sunny planting schemes with its dramatic foliage and vibrant flowers.

Dark purplish-black leaves emerge early to form a neat, compact base, setting off tall spikes of pink-cream to raspberry-toned, hooded blooms that appear from late spring and continue well into summer. The upright habit adds height and structure to borders without taking over, while it looks especially smart in pots and containers where the colour contrast really stands out.

Antirrhinum ‘Snap in Black Raspberry’ thrives in a sunny spot with free-draining soil, attracts butterflies and other pollinators, and produces sturdy stems that are excellent for cutting, making it a practical choice for gardeners who want bold colour outdoors and flowers to enjoy indoors too.

While botanically a short-lived perennial, most gardeners prefer to grow these wonderful bedding plants as seasonal annuals.

Please note that the decorative pots or baskets in any photographs are not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.
