Snapdragon Early Avignon Apricot

 

Snapdragon Early Avignon Apricot – Early Flowering & Beautifully Warm Tones

If you love soft, romantic colours in the garden and in your vases, Snapdragon Early Avignon Apricot is one of those plants that you just fall in love with instantly. With its gentle blend of apricots, peaches, honeyed-pinks and blush tones, it’s a variety that looks gorgeous from bud to full bloom. Whether you’re building a cutting patch, brightening your borders, or just filling a few pots for the patio, this early-flowering snapdragon brings joyful colour long before many summer flowers get going.

We supply your 6 plants in biodegradable Hado bags, using 100% peat-free compost in our family-run nursery. They arrive strong, rooted, and ready to settle into your garden with very little fuss.

A Perfect Snap for Beginners

You don’t need to be an expert to grow great snapdragons.  Avignon Apricot is wonderfully forgiving and surprisingly tough considering how delicate it looks. Once planted, these Hado-grown plants take off quickly, giving you sturdy stems and a lovely early flush of flowers.

If you’re new to growing cut flowers, this is a brilliant confidence-booster. They establish quickly, bloom early, and keep flowering for weeks and weeks with very little effort.

What Makes Avignon Apricot So Special?

It’s the colour — truly. These blooms have a warm, dreamy, sunrise-like glow that feels soft rather than loud. They’re elegant and uplifting without shouting for attention.

You’ll notice:

• Soft apricot and peach petals

• Gentle blends of pink, coral and warm gold

• A beautiful ombré effect as each flower opens

• Colouring that works with almost every other flower in the garden

They look especially lovely paired with cosmos, dahlias, sweet peas, scabious, feverfew, and Amni Visnaga. If you like creating arrangements with a cottage-garden or romantic feel, these will quickly become a favourite.

Ideal for Cutting & Floral Design

‘Avignon Apricot’ is grown by florists for good reason: the stems are tall, straight, and incredibly useful in bouquets. They add height, shape, and a soft colour accent that ties arrangements together beautifully.

Cut them when the bottom third of the flowers have opened, and they’ll last brilliantly in the vase. Regular cutting also encourages the plant to produce more stems, so it’s a win-win.

Early to Flower & Long to Perform

One of the main advantages of this variety is how early it blooms. You’ll often see flowers before many other annuals even get started, which makes it a lovely addition to spring and early-summer arrangements.

With plenty of sun and steady watering, you can expect:

• Early colour

• Long flowering season

• Continuous picking through summer

• Healthy, sturdy stems

• Strong repeat blooms

And because you’re starting with 6 well-rooted young plants, you’ll get a generous display even in a small space.

Where to Plant Your Snapdragons

‘Avignon Apricot’ is flexible and fits nicely into:

• Borders

• Allotments

• Raised beds

• Pots and containers

• Dedicated cutting patches

Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil and space for airflow. Give them a little water as they settle in, then simply enjoy watching them grow.
