FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow Antirrhinums in the UK?

Grow Antirrhinums in spring, or start them in autumn for earlier flowers the following year where winter protection is available. Plant outside after severe frosts have passed.

Where is the best place to grow Antirrhinums?

Antirrhinums grow best in full sun, in fertile, well-drained soil. Taller types need shelter from wind or discreet support as they grow.

Why are my Antirrhinums tall and floppy?

Plants can become leggy in shade or when grown too closely together. Give them more sun, space them well and pinch out young tips to encourage bushier growth.

Should I deadhead Antirrhinums?

Yes. Remove faded flower spikes to encourage further blooms and prevent unwanted self-seeding.

Will Antirrhinums come back every year?

Antirrhinums are often grown as annual or short-lived plants in the UK. In mild, sheltered gardens some can survive winter and flower again.
