Snapdragon Flower

Snapdragons are beloved garden classics known for their uniquely shaped blossoms that resemble the face of a dragon, which pop open when gently squeezed laterally. Belonging to the Plantaginaceae family, these versatile flowering plants are typically grown as cool-season annuals or short-lived perennials in temperate regions. They produce tall, striking spikes densely packed with vibrant blooms in shades of pink, yellow, red, purple, and white, making them exceptional choices for vertical interest in borders, cutting gardens, and floral arrangements. Thriving best in full sun and well-drained soils, snapdragons attract important pollinators like bumblebees and butterflies, enhancing overall garden biodiversity while providing continuous color from spring through the autumn frost.
