Common Name : Snapdragon

Latin Name : Antirrhinum majus

Description : The sturdy snapdragon is an early bloomer in the annual garden. If the dead blooms are removed, the snaps can put on a second bloom near frost. Since snaps are hardy against light frosts, the second bloom can last well into the fall.

Snapdragons can have a surprisingly heavy sweet scent, particularly the yellow, and make a fun cut flower.

Be gentle with the transplants. Although snapdragons are tough as nails once established in the garden, they pout when they are disrupted or transplanted.
