Description
Antirrhinum majus 'Majestic Mix' is a selection of semi-dwarf snapdragons offering a beautiful palette of bright and varied colours, including red, pink, yellow, and white. These undemanding snapdragons work well in borders, containers, and cut flower arrangements. Depending on the climate and soil, these plants behave as annuals or short-lived perennials. Their cultivation is not difficult in full sun, in fertile, well-drained soil.
Cultivated in monastery gardens since 1583, Antirrhinum majus has given rise to many cultivars of all sizes and varied colours. This plant from the Plantaginaceae family is native to the western Mediterranean Basin, where it grows among rocks on the arid hillsides of the south of France.
The 'Majestic Mix' selection is characterised by its well-balanced, semi-dwarf habit and its generous flowering in very varied hues. This short-lived perennial, usually grown as an annual, forms a dense clump in the year of sowing, reaching 50 to 60 cm in height when in flower and about 30 to 40 cm in width. Its upright stems, sometimes slightly branching, bear dark green foliage, formed of opposite or alternate, lanceolate, entire, and smooth leaves. Flowering extends from May-June to October, until the first frosts, depending on the sowing date. The plants produce long, dense, well-structured floral spikes, adorned with large tubular flowers in rich, bright colours: white, yellow, orange, pink, red and their many shades. These flowers are very attractive to pollinating insects like bees and bumblebees. Although not very fragrant, their abundance, colour, and good vase life make them wonderful in borders and cut flower arrangements. 'Majestic Mix' snapdragons can sometimes self-seed spontaneously in light soil, although plants from natural sowing are not always true to the original variety.
The medium-sized 'Majestic Mix' snapdragon is perfect for structuring a border, including alongside lower plants like pinks or taller ones like cosmos. Snapdragons are trouble-free plants that fit into borders, flower beds, or rockeries. They also make beautiful container compositions. You can pair them with love-in-a-mist and annual poppies. Their flower-laden spikes are well showcased when they emerge among bushy perennials (catmints, Alyssum, dwarf asters...).
Snapdragon owes its common name to the particular shape of its flowers, which, when pinched, take on the appearance of jaws.
Caution, seeds are reserved for experienced gardeners accustomed to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust, barely visible to the naked eye.

Planting and care
Sow 'Majestic Mix' snapdragon seeds from January to March on the surface of a well-drained seed compost. Do not cover the seeds. Place in a propagator or tray inside a plastic bag, maintaining a temperature of 20-25°C until germination, which usually takes 10 to 21 days. Light aids germination. Transplant the young plants when they are large enough to handle into 8 cm trays or pots. Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting them out in the open ground, after all risk of frost, spacing them 23 to 30 cm apart.
You can also sow directly in situ after the last frosts, in very well-prepared soil lightened with compost. Water regularly with a fine spray until emergence.
Snapdragons thrive in fertile, well-drained, well-worked soil and in full sun. The tall snapdragon is not very hardy (-7°C): it is therefore often grown as an annual or a biennial. However, it is not uncommon for snapdragons to survive several not-too-severe winters, though they then become more susceptible to rust... To try and preserve a beautiful variety, protect the plants from severe frosts in winter by ensuring good soil drainage and covering the crowns with a thick carpet of leaves or dry grasses: they will regrow in spring and flower 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 zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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.
