Welcome the warm hues of this delightful snapdragon to your garden! Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Antirrhinum majus is a flowering annual that offers both early and late season color. It produces flushes of flowers from spring until early summer and then again in fall. The spikes of vibrant orange flowers are tinged with yellow, giving them a fiery appearance. Growing 14-16 inches tall, Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon grows vigorously to quickly fill in plantings.
Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon is a must-have for cottage gardens. It works well as either a thriller or filler in containers, where its upright growth complements trailing plants. Grow this snapdragon with other colorful annuals for cheerful, cool-season flower beds and container plantings. Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon has a multi-branched form with sturdy stems, making it ideal for cut flowers.
Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon Care
Plant Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon in full sun for healthy growth and flowering. It grows best in well-drained soil with a neutral pH. This annual needs moderate moisture, so keep its soil moist but not soggy. Use a balanced fertilizer every 2-4 weeks once flowers start to bloom. Pinching can encourage more lateral branching for heavier flower production. Simply snip off the stem above a few sets of leaves on young plants. Deadheading will also help snapdragons continuously bloom. To prevent this snapdragon from going to seed, cut off spent flower spikes above the leaves.
Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon is a short-lived perennial in zones 8-11. Mulching can offer more winter protection by insulating the soil. In cooler zones, treat this plant as an annual. Like all snapdragons, Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon flowers best in the cooler seasons of spring and fall; expect less growth and flowering in the heat of summer. Snapdragons can handle a few frosts but do not overwinter well indoors as houseplants. In mild climate zones, container-grown snapdragons can be brought to a sheltered, unheated location to overwinter.
Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon Spacing
Snaptastic™ Orange Flame Snapdragon can be planted 6-14 inches apart, with the lower end of that range being ideal for mass plantings, containers, and cutting gardens. This snapdragon can easily be grown in medium-sized containers with other plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
