Arrangements with Snapdragons

Snapdragons, scientifically known as Antirrhinum majus, are beloved for their striking appearance and versatility in floral arrangements. These flowers feature tall, spiky blooms with a distinctive dragon-like shape, available in a wide range of vibrant colors including red, pink, yellow, orange, and white. Their unique appearance makes them a favorite for adding height and texture to bouquets and centerpieces.

Snapdragons are native to the Mediterranean region and have been cultivated for centuries. They are available in various sizes, from dwarf varieties that grow just a few inches tall to towering spikes that can reach up to three feet. This diversity allows them to be used creatively in both small and large floral designs.

Culturally, snapdragons have been associated with strength and grace, often symbolizing deception due to the flower's dragon-like mouth that opens and closes when squeezed. In modern flower language, they convey messages of graciousness and charm, making them a thoughtful addition to any gift bouquet.

To ensure your cut snapdragons remain vibrant and fresh, follow these care instructions. First, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle to increase water absorption. Place them in a clean vase filled with fresh, lukewarm water mixed with floral preservative to nourish the blooms.

• Change the water every two days to prevent bacterial growth.
• Keep the arrangement in a cool room away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prolong their vase life.
• Remove any wilted flowers or foliage to maintain the arrangement's appearance.

With proper care, snapdragons can last up to 7-10 days, bringing joy and color to your space.
