ANTIRRHINUM majus( TAHITI SERIES)
Tahiti Snapdragon
Tahiti snapdragon is a short-lived perennial or tender perennial (often grown as an annual) that originates from southwestern Europe and the Mediterranean. This old-fashioned garden favorite bears upright spikes of distinctly lipped flowers that snap open and shut when squeezed, hence the name “snapdragon.” Snapdragon will continue blooming from summer to fall, if spent flower spikes are removed, and come in shade of white, red, pink, yellow, and orange. When weather is very hot they may cease from blooming for a spell. The Tahiti Series features short, compact plants with showy blooms and good resistance to rust diseases. Those with deep flower colors have reddish-green stems and leaves and the white or pale flowering types have pale green leaves. Grow snapdragons in sites with full sun and sharply-drained, average soil. Enjoy these fine bedding plants in containers and mixed beds and borders.
