Antirrhinum Majus Maximum Tall Mixed (Antirrhinum majus)

The Dragon Flower

Snapdragons have fascinated children (and adults!) for generations. Squeeze the sides of the flower and it opens like a dragon’s mouth – release and it snaps shut. This simple pleasure never gets old, and the flowers are beautiful too.

Cool Weather Champions

Snapdragons thrive in cooler temperatures. In mild climates, they bloom through winter. Elsewhere, they shine in spring and fall but struggle in summer heat. Many gardeners plant them in fall for early spring bloom.

Cutting Garden Stars

Tall snapdragon varieties are excellent cut flowers:

Long vase life: Last over a week in water.

Vertical accent: The spiky form adds height to arrangements.

Every color: Available in virtually every color except true blue.

Growing Snapdragons

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost, or direct sow. Pinch seedlings to encourage bushier growth. Deadhead regularly for continuous bloom. In mild climates, they often survive winter and return, or self-sow. Rust disease can be a problem – look for resistant varieties.
