EARLY MORNING

Antirrhinum «Early Morning» – a compact, dwarf variety of snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus), 15–20 cm high, with a highly branched bush and original two-lipped flowers. The flowers gradually open from bottom to top, creating an «early morning» effect. The plant starts flowering in June and continues to delight until the first frost.

Snapdragons prefer light areas but can tolerate slight shading. They grow on fertile, light, well-drained soils and do not tolerate waterlogging – excess moisture leads to fungal diseases. For sowing, seedlings are prepared in March at a temperature of 20–24 °C; seedlings appear in 7–14 days. Plants are planted in open ground in May, with a distance of 15–20 cm between bushes.

This plant easily withstands transplanting: it can be grown on flowerbeds and borders, as well as in containers, cassettes, or on balconies. When placed in a cool place (temperature not above 15 °C), flowering can continue through the winter. Antirrhinum «Early Morning» is known for its unpretentiousness, variety of flower shades – from white and yellow to orange, pink, and red, sometimes with combined colorings, as well as long-lasting bright flowering.
