New breeding has produced Antirrhinum Dazzling Lips Sunset, with an abundance of strong, stately stems that are full of elaborate, eye-catching blooms in shades reminiscent of a beautiful sunset all spring and summer. Flowering for several months above the lush green foliage, Dazzling Lips are a new twist on the country garden staple and are the perfect solution for adding a stunning splash of colour to your borders and containers. Antirrhinum make excellent cut flowers lasting well in a vase, and are much loved by bees for the nectar-rich summer blooms. Antirrhinum have been a firm garden favourite for generations, especially loved by children who take great delight in squeezing the sides of the blooms and watching the flower open like a dragon’s mouth, hence the common name Snapdragon. The latin name antirrhinum means ‘like a snout’ and is believed to refer to the seedpod looking rather like a calf’s snout. Incredibly easy to grow, preferring moist, well-drained soil in sun.
