Antirrhinum majus 'Opus Yellow'

Antirrhinum majus, commonly known as snapdragon, is a stunning plant that adds a pop of color to any garden or floral arrangement. One of the popular varieties of this plant is Antirrhinum majus 'Opus Yellow,' which is loved for its vibrant yellow-medium yellow green-001B flowers.

Snapdragons are unique because when you gently squeeze the sides of the flowers, they open and close like a dragon's mouth, hence the name "snapdragon." This charming characteristic makes them a favorite among flower enthusiasts and gardeners.

The 'Opus Yellow' snapdragon is cherished for its beautiful flower color. The petals range from vibrant yellow to a slightly greenish shade, creating a striking contrast against the plant's deep green foliage. This color combination adds a cheerful touch to any garden or bouquet and is perfect for adding a splash of sunshine to any landscape.

Apart from its eye-catching appearance, the 'Opus Yellow' snapdragon has another interesting trait - it is unscented. While many flowers are celebrated for their sweet and enticing fragrance, this variety of snapdragon focuses solely on its stunning visual appeal. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy the beauty of flowers without overwhelming scents.

Snapdragons are known for their ability to attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Although the 'Opus Yellow' snapdragon lacks a fragrance, its bright color and charming structure still make it appealing to these helpful creatures, leading to cross-pollination and a thriving garden ecosystem.

These snapdragons are relatively easy to grow, making them perfect for both seasoned gardeners and beginners. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil but can tolerate some shade and various soil conditions. With regular watering and occasional fertilization, these flowers will bloom abundantly throughout the summer months, bringing joy to any space they occupy.

Snapdragons are versatile and offer various ways to incorporate them into your garden or home decor. Planted in beds, they create a stunning visual display, especially when planted in groups or mixed with other flowers. They also make excellent cut flowers, lasting for a long time in beautiful floral arrangements and bouquets.
