The Orange Wonder snapdragon belongs to the species Antirrhinum majus , the garden snapdragon, a classic companion to natural flowerbeds. Native to the Mediterranean region, this species has been adopted in many gardens for its dense flower spikes and long flowering period. The Orange Wonder selection is distinguished by its warm orange hues, a welcome addition to any garden or ornamental space.

In the garden, snapdragons form upright clumps topped with dense flower spikes that gradually open over the weeks. Their structuring presence consistently accompanies the cycle of the seasons: first green foliage, then a long flowering period. In a harmonious garden, they find their place both in beds and borders, and can provide a source of nectar for visiting insects where the soil is welcoming and minimally disturbed.

Note: The snapdragon appreciates moderate temperatures and good ventilation; it tolerates cool conditions but is susceptible to severe frosts once in bloom.

The garden snapdragon is primarily cultivated as an ornamental plant for its long, colorful blooms. Its flower spikes are often used in borders, flowerbeds, and containers to structure the space and complement the flowering cycle of other annuals and perennials. It can be incorporated into cut flower arrangements, particularly to add verticality and texture. Some horticultural traditions associate it with cottage gardens and naturalistic borders, where it evokes an age-old practice of sowing simple, hardy flowers around food-bearing areas.
