- Today I’m taking you on a special garden tour of all the Snapdragons. Then we’ll compare each one side by side for colour and flower shape. My aim is to help us decide which Snapdragon varieties to grow in the future.

Dear Annette, your love and enjoyment really shines through and you video today made me so happy because the detail and effort you put in is not only useful, but we get to see the beauty of all the varieties that are blooming. This year I have more than last year because some of the ones I sowed were not blooming the first year, so maybe I sowed them too late. I loved many of the ones you showed today and that last shot of them all together was glorious. My mother in law got some from a nursery this year and they are stunning bold colours, which I am hoping to get some seeds for myself if I can find a seed seller that sells seed mixes. Your joy is really coming through and is so infectious. I could easily spend hours walking in your beautiful garden and chat with you about all the colour schemes and ideas you have for planting up your flowers. Thank you, and I hope you are blessed with an abundance of your most favourite blooms. XX
Gosh, thank you so much Jimmy. That means the world to me and I'm so happy to be able to share the garden with everyone here. 😊
So appreciate the comparison; will definitely reference it--thank you so much! Fond memories of snapdragons in my mother's garden as a child--actually, I think this flower is what made me want to be a gardener. (Canada)
Glad you enjoyed it Dianne and that it was helpful. 😊
I‘m growing many of your varieties this year and potamac lavender has been the most prolific one. I‘ve been cutting and cutting from it and it just doesnt stop producing nice long stems for over 8 weeks now.
I am really excited for your dahlia videos and would suggest that you try Waltzing Mathilda next year. It‘s really beautiful!!
Thanks Vik, I've seen Waltzing Mathilda and, indeed, it is gorgeous - another one to add to my wish list! 😁
Amazed, most beautiful views💛💛❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Truly enjoyed your comparisons on the snapdragons!
I’m really drawn to those double shots even though they are short, so beautiful!
Thanks for sharing, it was very helpful and informative 😊
Can’t wait to see your dahlias!!!
Tahnk you so much - yes the Doubleshots are really pretty, I love them too! 😁
You have opened my eyes to appreciate the Snapdragon. I always pass by the "big standard" not really giving it a thought . BUT I'd write a favourite and then you would show another 😊 I think I'm going to add a few of the Potomac line next year to add much needed height in my very small garden. Thanks for a lovely comparison and it seems to me a complimentary type of flower.
Hi Tracy, I'm so happy that you found it helpful and useful and now we have another Snapdragon lover! 😊
Will you collect your snapdragon seeds to sow next year? If yes, perhaps you can show us how? Thanks for the tour and lesson.
Hi Stan, I don;t tend to collect the seeds from my snapdragons because a lot of them are F1 but also, because I grow so many varieties, they will probably cross-pollinate and then I won't know which colour will grow from the seed. 😊
This is an absolute mine of information, and not only on snapdragons. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful, thanks 😊
Apparently Watermelon is the new name for Cherry Bronze (according to Zoe's website). This is such a useful video, thank you so much. It will help me plan mg snap varieties for next year:-)
I was looking for this comment, thank you!! 🤗
Ah, thanks. That's interesting but the internet hasn't caught on yet because all other seed suppliers seem to be still calling it Cherry Bronze! So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching 😊
@@cottoverdi that's really annoying, I'd be a little miffed too :-(
i absolutely love snapdragons i also have many in the garden i grew mine by the winter sowing method which was brilliant also great for arrangements
Yes, the winter sowing method is great too. I have often started my in the autumn but last year we were on holiday so I missed the moment. 🫤
Annette, I honestly don't know how you remember everything!!! The pairings of snapdragons and other flowers were gorgeous. Did you grow all your snaps indoors and then planted them out?
Thanks Lisa. I think it's easier to remember everything when you love them 😂 Yes, all my snaps were started indoors on 6th February. 😊
Lovely video and very useful, thank you! 🤗
I don't get around watching any of my favorite garden channels regularly anymore, including yours, due to the project 'First Baby on the way'😍😊 I am happy you are still doing videos, keep up the nice work and the good vibe with your nice personality. 🤗Greetings, Judit
Wow, thank you so much Judit and all the best with your new baby - such an exciting time of life 😁
@@cottoverdi 🤗🤗🤗❤️Thank you Annette!
This was so helpful! For the past handful of years I’ve grown the rocket variety and am getting a bit bored. I think I’ll order the Potamac series from Johnny’s Seeds here in the US come fall. I start mine always in January- it usually takes 3 weeks for mine to germinate. So I definitely need to go watch your seed starting video for tips!
Ah, yes, I used to have the rocket variety too but I love the Potomac for the tall strong stems and their simplicity. 😊
Annette you’ve added a few more snapdragons to my growing list! Costa lavender for example 🤤imagine that pairing with a coffee colour rose?? Very jealous of your Potomac royal - there was some sort of issue with seed over here in the southern hemisphere so not an option this season unfortunately. I’m trying to get Christmas bouquets of Potomac ivory and red so fingers crossed that timing works out. Have you considered planting your snap dragons in the autumn? I always get much healthier crops when planted in the autumn - particularly for the group ones and twos. P.s that sanguisorba is awesome!
Hi Cat, yes, I've sown snaps in the autumn in previous years but last year we were on holiday during the sowing window so I sowed in February. To be honest, they are plenty tall enough for my garden and so I don't mind that I sowed them 'late'.
What a shame about the lack of Potomac Royal - I'd really miss that vibrant colour! 😊
Great tour and info.
I might have to try some.
Thank you so much for this video 🌻
You are so welcome Susan. Thank you 😊
Delightful and so informative 😊 I can see why you a so passionate about them😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Applebossom is my favorite
Yes, it's gorgeous. Such a gentle muted colour. 😁
I love your videos very much and the snapdragon are so beautiful ❤️
Glad you like them, thank you Claudia 😊
The Legend Light Pink snap almost sparkles. It’s a really fresh color.
Yes, I agree - it's beautiful! 😁
Very very beautiful flowers❤❤❤❤
thanks! 😁🌸
Potomac dark orange is my favorite! Thank you for showing all the snapdragons next to each other... I asked for it in other video's, so really really love it! Now you can really see the difference between colours, wich normally is hard to see on video. Can't wait for more video's like this, thank you again! Love from the Netherlands.
You are so welcome, I'm really glad you found it useful 😊
Great video, beautiful garden
So nice of you, Thank you Monika 😊
Hi Annette first of all your flowers are so beautiful, talking about snapdragon. My neighbours snapdragon was poking through the fence, I didn't know what it was so cut 1branch and planted it and now I've got 6 plants out of that. Its a peachy colour. Watching your program makes me want to buy all colours. And love the music as well. Could you please tell me what music is that. Many thanks Anna 😊
Ooh. - Yes, snapdragon cuttings take really well and many people plant the tips when they pinch them out to get more plants and also a very helpful succession of blooms. 😊
Beautiful snaps great video 🌺🌸how many plants are in each grouping? Thanks 😍
Hi Jane, thank you. I tend to plant in 3s or 5s. I think most of the Snaps are in groupings of 3. 😊
what zone are you in with reference to your seed starting schedule and your average last frost date, thank-you
Hi, I think I'm in equivalent to zone 8a. We don't often get temps below -5°C
What is the name of the one that watermellon looks like? I will start snap dragon next year. Thanks for exposing me to all the varieties I didn't know existed.
Hi Ralph, it's called Madam Butterfly Cherry Bronze. 😊
where do you get your seed? Beautiful!
Hi Barb, Much of my seed comes from Chiltern Seeds. 😊
Which one would you recommend for cold wet ne England ☔️🌻
Hi Susan, I grow all of these in cold wet England. I do find that the earlier ones to flower suffer less with the rust problem - so my Madame butterflys are currently getting rust because it's just too wet and cold 😬
dear anette, question for you: do you grow snapdragons from seed? i tried but failed miserably. any ideas?
I don’t have success growing from seed either🌺
Hi there, yes, I grew all of these from seed. I have a video showing how I do this ua-cam.com/video/KlD5wNYDTKY/v-deo.html
I'm sorry to hear that Marie. try this video to see how I do it. ua-cam.com/video/KlD5wNYDTKY/v-deo.html
@@cottoverdi thank you!
@@cottoverdi thankyou Annette,it’s very informative and I have placed my Snaps seed order! Spring here in NZ soon.🌺
how is my snapdragons done... im in montreal quebec... i got blooms from may to july 15th.. and u are more south loll ill need succession planting
Snapdragons have 4 growing groups, you would need to research the varieties along with the group number which tells you when they flower

@@caseylewis7916 i have all 4 groups loll
Hi Annie, it might be helpful to plant your out in stages, so maybe plant a few seedlings one week and then some more after 2 weeks. I've definitely found that the staggered approach will give me a longer season. 😊
