| Description |
About SnapdragonsSnapdragons are a well-loved favorite of annual enthusiasts for their long-lasting, bright colors, and cheerful, nodding spikes of snout-shaped flowers. These beauties come in a wide range of heights and hues and are a must in any traditional cottage garden. Snapdragons don’t love extremely hot weather and may lose some bloom brilliance in extended heat, but do prefer sunny spots as long as they’re well-watered. |
