About Antirrhinum majus 'Twinny Peach'

Antirrhinum majus 'Twinny Peach' · also called Twinny Peach Snapdragon, Double Peach Snapdragon · flowering

A dwarf, double-flowered snapdragon and All-America Selections winner, 'Twinny Peach' bears soft peach, apricot, and cream open-faced double blooms on compact, well-branched plants. Bred for heat tolerance and tidy bedding, it suits borders, containers, and the front of beds. It flowers prolifically in cool-to-mild weather and needs no staking.

Mature size: Around 20-30 cm tall and 20-30 cm wide; a true dwarf that holds its shape in pots and the front of borders without support.

Watch for — Heat-induced flowering pause: Blooming slows in extreme heat despite good tolerance. Deadhead spent spikes and keep watering; flowering resumes as temperatures moderate.

Indoor size vs how big it gets in the wild

Antirrhinum majus 'Twinny Peach' reaches its full size within one growing season — there is no "long-term" size, just how big it gets before you harvest or it dies back. Indoors and in a pot, expect around 20-30 cm tall and 20-30 cm wide. In the ground with no restriction it is a completely different plant — a true dwarf that holds its shape in pots and the front of borders without support. — which is why the pot, the light and the pruning matter so much for the size you actually end up with.

It sizes up fast and once, racing from seedling to full size in a single season; after cropping it is finished, so size is a within-season question.
