With a fruity fragrance, to match the fruity colour of these open-faced, large, double blooms they are sure to draw your attention when they flower from June to September. Perfect as a cut flower, with stems produced right through the growing season for plentiful supplies. Plants are ideal for either containers or open ground. Antirrhinum majus ‘DoubleShot™ Peach’ offers rich and resplendent shades of orange, peach and yellow – with flowers accented by striking white throats. Stems reach a height of around 50cm, and plants spread out to around 40cm for generous impact in containers, or borders. Pollinator-friendly – the flowers will be visited by bees, butterflies and other busy, buzzing insects looking for sustenance. Plant Antirrhinum majus ‘DoubleShot™ Peach’ in rich, well-drained soil of any type except clay and ensure that plants benefit from a sunny or partially shaded spot. As a half-hardy annual your plant will die back once the cold weather arrives. However, seed can be collected in late summer or early autumn for propagation the following spring – assuring you of continued blooms for years to come.
