Description
Antirrhinum x majus Fruit Salad Up Purple is a brand new scented snapdragon, with as many flowers as traditional varieties which are beautifully sized, unusually shaped and wonderfully coloured in purple-pink and white. They are tightly packed in generous spikes all summer. This variety is simply magnificent as cut flowers, and its compact habit works well in rockeries, borders, flower beds, and pots on the terrace.
Antirrhinum, better known as snapdragon or lion's mouth, is a genus that was formerly part of the Scrophulariaceae family, now transferred to the Plantaginaceae family. Snapdragons are herbaceous plants that are perennial and shrubby, originating from America, North Africa and mountainous regions of Europe.
The brand new 'Fruit Salad' series brings together perennial but short-lived and net very hardy hybrid snapdragons to be grown as annuals in most regions. These plants form upright and compact well-branched clumps 35 cm (14in) high and about 30 cm (12in) wide. The stems bear dark green leaves more or less tinged with bronze and lance-shaped. The flowering period extends from May-June to September-October with upright flower spikes, abundantly covered with flowers. In these 'Fruit Salad' varieties, the flowers are particularly wide, open in a funnel shape, and are formed by broad petals. In 'Fruit Salad Up Purple', the flowers are white, spotted, veined and speckled with rose-purple.
Snapdragons are part of our childhood memories with their small velvety, fragrant flowers that you can bury your nose in. They are easy to grow for all gardeners, in borders, flower beds or rockeries. In the north or in heavy soil, treat them as annuals. Varieties like 'Fruit Salad Up Purple' are perfect for cut flowers, flower beds, flowering pots or cottage gardens. You can associate them with Damask nigellas, perennial flax and valerians (Centranthus ruber). Their flower spikes are highlighted among bushy plants with decorative foliage (fennel, cineraria maritima, artemisias, lavender, cotton lavenders) or ground cover roses. Once the plant is established you can regularly remove faded flowers to extend its flowering.
Snapdragons owe their common name to the particular shape of their flowers, which resemble mouths when pinched.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, repot and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
Snapdragons thrive in fertile, well-drained, even limestone soil which is well-dug, not too dry, and in full sun. The snapdragon is not very hardy and has a short lifespan: it is therefore often grown as an annual or biennial plant. However, it is not uncommon to see snapdragons withstand several milder winters, but they may then become more susceptible to rust... To try to preserve a beautiful variety, protect the plants from severe frost in winter by improving soil drainage (add gravel to your garden soil, slightly raise the planting) and covering the crowns with a thick carpet of leaves or dry grass. they will come back in spring and bloom 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).
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 colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
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).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
