ANTIRRHINUM MAJUS

With open frilly shaped flowers, the Chantilly series are one of the most interesting snapdragon series around. Very early flowering, they're incredibly productive, just keep harvesting right at the very base to keep their thicker stems coming (Chantilly can be a little thinner stemmed than other varieties but perfectly useable if kept harvested).

Chantilly White is hands down my favourite white snapdragon.

Snapdragon seeds are very small and they also need light to germinate, so they will need special care to germinate their best selves. See our Top 5 Tips for Better Seed Germination post for our best germination tricks for these types of light lovers.

Full Sun

Spacing:
15–25cm

Can be grown as either quick one cut plants, planted very close (10cm) or pinched and planted further apart 22cm.

Rust can be an issue when grown over summer, but is less of an issue over winter and when they are kept thoroughly harvested and always pumping out fresh new growth.

Snapdragons absolutely need support, and more support than you'd think they'd need. Once they fall over they will bend to keep growing upright.
