In the garden
Antirrhinum Pretty in Pink ('Pmoore07'PBR) is a named Antirrhinum selection within the Plantaginaceae and carries the typical personate flower form associated with snapdragons. That characteristic 'snap'—the two-lipped corolla that parts under lateral pressure—makes stems straightforward to harvest for arrangements and gives the plant an unmistakable floral habit. Place this cultivar in full sun on loam with a neutral pH and ensure the soil drains freely; poor drainage will limit flowering. Choose a south-facing, sheltered position to reduce exposure to cold winds. The plant is rated H3, which equates to borderline hardiness in UK terms, so in sites exposed to severe winter conditions consider an overwintering margin of protection or situate it where frost is less persistent. Antirrhinum Pretty in Pink ('Pmoore07'PBR) suits formal bedding layouts and mixed cutting beds where regular harvesting is required. Its flowering season runs from June to September, providing a steady supply of stems for vases across the summer. Positioning it in a dedicated cutting area keeps blooms accessible and encourages repeated picking through the season.
