Snapdragons are old-fashioned cottage garden plants. They come in a range of different colours and heights, and therefore can be grown in a variety of situations. Antirrhinum majus 'Royal Bride' bears spikes of beautiful pure white flowers in contrast with rich green foliage. Unusually for snapdragons, its blooms have a delicate fragrance. It's perfect for growing in a mixed border and makes an excellent cut flower. Its blooms are particularly attractive to bumblebees.

Grow Antirrhinum majus 'Royal Bride' in free-draining soil in full sun. To prolong flowering, feed weekly with a potash-rich fertiliser and deadhead spent blooms regularly.
