larger snake - silhouette
The larger snapper is a plant that has been cultivated in home gardens for decades.Colorful flowers that open like an animal's mouth when pressed, appear from June and bloom in almost all popular colors until the first frost.
Development of the greater snap
Among antirinals there is a group of dwarf varieties (15-25 cm), medium-tall (40-60 cm) and tall (100-120 cm).The flowers are white, yellow, orange, pink and red, and are arranged in spikes. Currently, two-color varieties are very popular.
Higher Antirrhinus - position
Snapdragon prefers sunny to semi-shaded positions and feels best in fertile and well-drained ground.
Sowing the greater snarl
The plants are grown on the windowsill from February to March at a temperature of 15-18 ° C or sown directly into the ground from the end of May.Seedlings tolerate light night frosts.
Bigger Snapdragon - care
Trimming shootsenhances tillering and makes the crown dense and more flowered.In order to maintain long flowering, faded flower shoots should be cut out on an ongoing basis (close to the ground). Tall varieties are prone to breaking, so before flowering they must be tied to a pole (e.g. bamboo).
Application for snap-hooks larger
Snapdragon works very well in colorful plantings of flowering annuals.Low-growing varieties are recommended for container plantings on a balcony or terrace. These can also be successfully used for border plantings surrounding e.g. a mixed perennial bed.
Tip
Antirrhinum pendula is perfect for growing in hanging baskets and balcony boxes.
