Antirrhinum Sweet Duet Apple Blossom

The modern face of the snapdragon. Sweet Duet Apple Blossom has eliminated the traditional dragon-mouth entirely and replaced it with layer upon layer of softly ruffled petals in soft porcelain-pink and cream — each bloom a miniature azalea or peony on a strong stem with a vase life of 10 days or more.

An F1 hybrid bred for stamina in full sun and exceptional uniformity, it is the snapdragon for those who want something that looks as though it came from a high-end florist rather than a cottage garden.
