Snapdragon
Product code : JAREC-0155
Orange Wonder snapdragon is a brightly coloured variety that brings a warm feeling to the garden through flowers shaded in orange, yellow and pinkish purple. From the first flowering stems onward, it brightens the beds with a generous succession of blooms that continues until the arrival of the first autumn frosts. Valued as a cut flower, it holds its shape well in a vase and makes colourful bouquets with a natural, flowing appearance and good lasting quality. Its slender outline adds height to flower beds, especially when a discreet stake supports the flowering stems in positions that are more exposed to the wind. It fits easily into a cutting garden or an ornamental bed, growing vigorously in a bright position where the soil allows excess water to drain away.

Antirrhinum majus ‘Orange Wonder’ — Orange Wonder Snapdragon. Orange Wonder snapdragon is a brightly coloured variety that brings a warm feeling to the garden through flowers shaded in orange, yellow and pinkish purple. From the first flowering stems onward, it brightens the beds with a generous succession of blooms that continues until the arrival of the first autumn frosts. Valued as a cut flower, it holds its shape well in a vase and makes colourful bouquets with a natural, flowing appearance and good lasting quality. Its slender outline adds height to flower beds, especially when a discreet stake supports the flowering stems in positions that are more exposed to the wind.
Sowing flower seeds: March to May. Sow on the surface, without covering. Germination usually takes 7-20 days. For germination, keep the soil at 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F). Transplant the young flowering plants once their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle the seedlings gently and avoid squeezing their delicate stems. Under grow lights, gradually space the containers farther apart so that the foliage does not overlap. Hardening off then prepares the plants for outdoor sunlight, wind and changes in temperature. Identify each container to recognize the variety at transplanting.
The snapdragon Orange Wonder is an orange-flowered moss. Pick its stems when the first flowers of the stem are open, to enjoy their gradual opening in the vase. Plan the arrangement around each plant’s mature habit and the distance from which the flowers will be viewed. Position smaller flowers close to a path for easy viewing, while taller plants can provide a focal point at the back of a bed. Repeat groups of the same variety to create a clear, visible colour pattern. Leave room to reach the plants for cutting, and avoid crowding clumps simply to fill the space right away.

Growing method
Recommended planting period: March to May. Sow on the surface, without covering. Germination usually takes 7-20 days. For germination, keep the soil at 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F). Transplant the young flowering plants once their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle the seedlings gently and avoid squeezing their delicate stems. Under grow lights, gradually space the containers farther apart so that the foliage does not overlap. Hardening off then prepares the plants for outdoor sunlight, wind and changes in temperature. Plant outdoors once the conditions are suitable for the plants’ cold tolerance. Watch the progression from flower buds to open blooms and faded flowers to decide which care the plant needs. A cut must preserve the shoots that will bloom afterwards. Check the supports on tall-stemmed plants after a period of strong wind. Lightly removing damaged growth helps maintain the plant’s shape without leaving it bare. Adapt the end of the season to the cycle of the plant: annuals and perennials do not require the same preparation for winter. Choose between prolonging flowering and keeping seeds on a few stems. Water gently to avoid moving the seeds.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Watering
Keep the seedbed surface slightly moist until seedlings emerge, using a gentle spray that does not displace the seeds. After rooting, water at the base of the plant when the soil begins to dry and allow excess water to drain. Avoid small, too frequent applications that wet only the surface. In a container, check the needs more often during hot or windy days. Adjust the frequency to precipitation, drainage and plant development.
Soil type
Prepare a well drained and moderately rich soil. Transplant the young flowering plants once their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle the seedlings gently and avoid squeezing their delicate stems. Under grow lights, gradually space the containers farther apart so that the foliage does not overlap. Hardening off then prepares the plants for outdoor sunlight, wind and changes in temperature.
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and should take into account the nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the recommended application rate. Avoid combining too many products, especially in a container where the roots have a limited volume of growing medium. Water as needed after applying nutrients, and observe foliage growth before deciding whether another fertilizer application is necessary.
Moisture
Keep the growing mix moist during germination, without standing water; then adjust to the crop

Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Recommended pot size
A stable container with drainage holes, enough width for the plant’s spread and sufficient depth for its roots
Choose a location in full sun. Reserve this spread around the plant: 30 cm (12 in.). A flowering container arrangement should leave enough room for every plant to grow. Place upright plants where they remain visible, and let any trailing stems extend over the container’s edge. Check that the combined plants share the desired exposure and moisture. After a few weeks, check where the plants are becoming crowded and remove only damaged parts or stems that disrupt the balance of the arrangement.

Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
In a mixed planting, you can reserve sections close to these plants: zinnia, cosmos, cornflower, calendula. The association is used here to organize space and crops. Allow for the height, light requirements and water needs of each plant, leaving enough room between the foliage. Keep a path clear for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to make room for the next planting. This arrangement makes maintenance easier without promising protection against garden pests. Plan the arrangement around each plant’s mature habit and the distance from which the flowers will be viewed.
