Usually thought of as a traditional cottage garden plant or for use in big colourful bedding displays usually as an annual or biennial.

This new introduction is a perennial form with wonderfully glossy dark green leaves and strong pink flowers throughout the summer into autumn. The breeder Peter Moore has been working with these plants for a while to encourage the free flowering habit by using Antirrhinum majus subsp. Tortuosum as the main breeding crossing it with other hybrids. Rust resistance is also an important factor to highlight along with hardiness similar to penstemons. The individual florets are slightly smaller than their cousins, they are very free flowering giving a wonderful show. Ideal for any flower borders or container grown, pruning back will encourage bushiness and encourage more flowers.
