Description
The 'Sweet Duet Peach' snapdragon offers you, all summer long, large semi-double and fragrant flowers. Bright orange, they will brighten up your flower beds and pots. They also bring joy to pollinating insects. Whether annual or perennial, it depends on the climate and soil it grows. Easy to grow, this compact snapdragon appreciates light, fertile, and well-drained soils and a sunny exposure.
From the scrophulariaceae family, the Antirrhinum majus was an essential plant in priests' gardens. Native to the western Mediterranean Basin, it grows among rocks on arid slopes in southern France. The Sweet Duet series is characterised by almost double and large flowers (between 4 and 5 cm long). The Sweet Duet Peach snapdragon forms a well-branched upright clump that does not exceed 40 cm in height and 30 cm in width. From May-June to September-October, until the first frost, it is covered with spikes of large bright orange flowers, fragrant, that attract bumblebees and other butterflies.
With its compact and well-branched habit, the Sweet Duet Peach snapdragon will find its place in all gardens, a flower bed, a border, or even a pot. To increase the visual impact, don't hesitate to plant it densely, between 7 and 9 plants per m². Prolong its flowering by regularly removing faded flowers. Pair the bright orange of the Sweet Duet Peach variety with the tropical zinnia elegans Queen Red Lime and the California Sunset sage with apricot-orange flowers. To add some lightness to the ensemble, consider grasses, such as Pennisetum alopecuroides Piglet.
Attention: These seeds are reserved for highly experienced gardeners who are used to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust, barely visible to the naked eye.

Planting and care
Sow your 'Sweet Duet Peach' snapdragon seeds under cover between January and March, in a tray on the surface of well-draining seed compost. Cover the seeds with a very thin layer of compost and keep it slightly moist. Place your tray at a temperature between 20 and 25°C. The seeds will germinate in 14 to 21 days. When the young plants are large enough to handle (2-leaf stage), transplant them into pots. Pinch the main stems to encourage branching. Plant them in their final position once the last frost has passed. Space them about 20 to 30 cm apart.
Another option is to sow in September and place the plants in pots under cover during the winter. You can then plant them out in the following spring.
In mild climate regions, it is also possible to sow directly in the open ground in April-May. Thin out the rows to keep one plant every 20 to 30 cm. In this case, flowering will be later, allowing you to spread out the flowering period.
Snapdragons thrive in full sun in light, fertile, and well-drained soil. They are often grown as annuals, but they are perennials that, when well protected from the cold (mulching, well-drained soil), can survive the winter and start growing again as soon as the warm weather arrives.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- 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.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).

In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
