Antirrhinum 'Sonnet White'
- There are few (if any) cottage garden plants quite so deserving of the term 'staple' as antirrhinums, and 'Sonnet White' only cements that status further!
- With fabulous linen-white racemes blooming atop olive green foliage throughout summer, we've fallen pretty hard for this plant, we don't mind admitting
- Also known as snapdragons, antirrhinums like this one add jovial colour and charm wherever they're placed. Position in repeating blocks throughout the middle of a border, or plant in a cutting garden for fantastic bouquets
- Consider planting alongside delphiniums, salvias, achilleas and lavenders for the quintessential cottage garden look
- The blooms may be shaped like a dragon's jaw, but that doesn't stop intrepid bees from entering them on their quest for nectar. In fact, 'Sonnet White' is certified as one of the Royal Horticultural Society's Plants for Pollinators, so if you're looking to create a wildlife garden, you could do a lot worse than considering this gem!
