Snapdragon - The Rose

Antirrhinum majus maximum

A fairy-tale-like cultivar of the sweet rocket plant, dressed in beautiful shades of pink, that is perfect for bouquets. It’s a fantastic attractor for all our pollinators and a magical addition to borders or containers. The name “sweet rocket” comes from the fact that the pretty flower resembles a mouth that opens when gently squeezed. This same mechanism helps the flower to open up for pollinators and then close around them, allowing for lots of pollen to stick to the insect, making this plant a welcome addition to butterfly gardens, among others.

This pink beauty is a real feast for the eyes and perfect for cut arrangements due to its height. The Rose is just as lovely in the garden as it is in a vase on the table. The flowers of the sweet rocket plant are also edible and add a magical touch as garnish on dishes or desserts. Imagine a toast Skagen or vanilla panna cotta topped with pink sweet rocket flowers, so lovely!
