Monaco Red Snapdragon

Monaco Red is a red-flowered F1 snapdragon in PanAmerican Seed’s Monaco series, selected for high-quality spikes through seasonal transitions. The breeder recommends the series for greenhouse and high-tunnel production and lists a plant-height range of 32–60 inches. ## Flowers and harvest This upright selection is suitable for cut-flower production. PanAmerican’s [Monaco Red cultivar page](https://www.panamseed.com/products/057800949004463/snapdragon-monaco-red/) identifies the exact color selection, upright habit, sun exposure, spring and autumn flowering, and quality spikes for harvest. The breeder describes the Monaco series as useful during late-summer/autumn and late-winter/early-spring transition periods. ## Siting Grow in sun, with well-drained soil. The [RHS Antirrhinum majus profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/69565/antirrhinum-majus/details) provides general species guidance for these conditions. PanAmerican notes that Monaco tolerates warm autumn conditions without flowering too quickly and performs in areas with moderate temperatures and limited day-length fluctuation. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower spikes to encourage further flowering when grown as a garden annual. The RHS recommends deadheading to prolong flowering. Cut-stem production lengths should not be treated as a guaranteed outdoor mature size.
