Notes
'Avignon Apricot II' snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus 'Avignon Apricot II') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. Its fragrant yellow and apricot blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, and the color is popular for spring and fall.
Pairs well with Purple top, California poppy, and Blue mistflower.
