A carnival of colors on tall stems. Brazilian Carnival is a mix of tall maximum snapdragons, in which each plant produces flowers in two colors: the petals and throat have contrasting shades, from yellow-red to pink-white. The plants reach 80–90 cm, produce long, dense spikes for cutting, and bloom from June until frost.
Most snapdragon mixes are collections of uniform colors. Brazilian Carnival is different: it consists of bicolored varieties in which the flower lips and throat create a contrast – yellow with red, pink with white, apricot with burgundy. The effect is vibrant, slightly exotic, and very summery; one packet produces a flower bed that looks as if someone carefully composed it.
The tall growth and sturdy stems make this mix excellent for cut flowers. Snapdragons like cool spring weather, slow down in the heat, and bloom again after pruning in August and the September rains, withstanding the first frosts undamaged.
Sowing (March – April, under cover): sow the very fine seeds on the surface of trays filled with light, sifted growing medium and do not cover them – snapdragons germinate in the light. Moisten the medium with a spray bottle; maintain a temperature of 18–20°C. Seedlings emerge after 10–14 days. After emergence, lower the temperature to 15°C to prevent the seedlings from becoming leggy.
Pricking out: when the seedlings have 2 pairs of true leaves, prick them out into plug trays or 7–8 cm pots. Grow the seedlings in cool (12–16°C), bright conditions; when they reach 10 cm, pinch out the growing tip so the plant produces several flowering stems instead of just one.
Planting out (May): plant hardened-off seedlings in their permanent position from the beginning of May – snapdragons tolerate light frosts. Space at 25 × 30 cm in a sunny position and fertile, well-drained soil, preferably neutral. You can also sow directly into the ground in April, but flowering will be about a month later.
Care: water regularly at the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the leaves (risk of rust). Feed every 2–3 weeks with a fertilizer high in potassium. Cut off faded spikes above the first branching point – the plant will produce more and continue flowering until frost. Support tall varieties in windy locations.
Ideal as a cut flower – one bed of Brazilian Carnival will provide bouquets from June to October, each one different. In the garden, plant it in flower beds in the back row, in larger, informal groups; it looks best in cottage gardens and alongside cosmos, zinnias, and ornamental sunflowers. It is also suitable for large containers on the terrace, provided it is supported. A honey plant, readily visited by bumblebees.
Color mixes look best when planted densely in one group rather than in a single row along a path – this allows the colors to blend instead of forming patches. If you particularly like one color, leave one spike to produce seeds: snapdragons are easy to propagate, and the seeds ripen in capsules in September.
