Key benefits

  • Flower spikes splashed and striped in two colours
  • Red, pink, yellow, cream and pastel blends
  • Reliable cut flower that lasts well in a vase
  • Colour from June to October, loved by bumblebees
  • Packet of about 1,500 open-pollinated seeds

Brighton Rock is an old-fashioned snapdragon mix whose flowers are splashed and striped in two colours, so no two spikes look quite alike. Antirrhinum majus 'Brighton Rock' carries dense spikes of the classic hinged flowers in blends of red, pink, yellow, cream and soft pastels. It is a reliable cut flower, lasting well in a vase, and the bumblebees love it: they are heavy enough to prise the petals open. Grow it in borders, cottage-garden planting or a pot on the patio for colour from early summer to autumn.

Sowing and growing

  • Sow indoors February to April at 15 to 20°C, or outdoors April to May where it is to flower
  • Depth: sow on the surface and press in lightly; the seed needs light
  • Germination: 10 to 21 days
  • Plant out in late May once frosts are over, 25 to 30 cm apart
  • Position: full sun, in any reasonably drained soil
  • Height: about 45 cm; spread 45 cm
  • Flowers: June to October; cut back after the first flush for a second
  • Lifecycle: grown as a half-hardy annual; may overwinter in mild, sheltered gardens

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I sow snapdragon seeds?

For the earliest flowers, sow indoors from February to April and plant out in late May. You can also sow directly outside in April and May for flowers from midsummer. Do not cover the seed, as it needs light to germinate.

Are snapdragons good cut flowers?

Yes. Cut the spikes in the morning when the lower flowers are open and stand them straight in water. The upper buds keep opening in the vase, and regular cutting encourages more stems.

Will snapdragons come back next year?

Snapdragons are short-lived perennials usually grown as annuals in the UK. In a mild, sheltered garden plants often survive winter and flower again, and they self-seed freely if a few spikes are left to set seed.
