ANTIRRHINUM majus( SONNET SERIES)
Sonnet Snapdragon
Snapdragons in the Sonnet Series are short-lived tender perennials, often raised as annuals, that originate from southwestern Europe and the Mediterranean. These well-branched bedding plants bear one main upright spike of distinctly lipped flowers surrounded by many smaller flowerspikes. The individual flowerheads snap open and shut when squeezed, hence the name “snapdragon". Available in a large array of colors, Sonnet snapdragons are vigorous and will flower from summer to fall if spent flowerspikes are removed. When weather is very hot they may refrain from blooming.
Grow snapdragons in sites with full sun and sharply-drained, average soil. Enjoy these old-fashioned garden favorites in containers and mixed beds and borders. Strong stems also make Sonnet snapdragons great for cutting.p>
