Antirrhinum is a genus of plants commonly known as dragon flowers or snapdragons because of the flowers' fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed. They are native to rocky areas of Europe, the United States, and North Africa. Family: Plantaginaceae Scientific name: Antirrhinum Higher classification: Antirrhineae Order: Lamiales Kingdom: Plantae Bright snapdragon flowers bloom profusely throughout cool weather in intensely saturated colors (almost every hue) and are real standouts in either the spring or fall garden. The flowers start blooming at the bottom of the stalk and work their way up, making for a long period of bloom. Although snapdragons tend to stop blooming in heat of mid-summer, if you keep them watered, they will perk up and carry your garden through the fall. Their botanical name, Antirrhinum, means "like a snout" and refers to the seed pod's resemblance to a calf's nose. The flowers resemble opening mouths when they are pressed on their sides. The openings of the flowers are snapped tightly shut and require more pressure to open than a honeybee can provide, so snapdragons rely on heavier bumblebees for their pollination. The alternate, lanceolate leaves are arranged in a spiral around the stem.

Antirrhinum majus (common snapdragon; often - especially in horticulture - simply “snapdragon”) is a species of flowering plant belonging to the genus Antirrhinum. The plant was placed in the Plantaginaceae family following a revision its prior classical family, Scrophulariaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal north to southern France, and east to Turkey and Syria.

The leaves are spirally arranged, broadly lanceolate, 1-7 cm long and 2-2.5 cm broad. The flowers are produced on a tall spike, each flower is 3.5-4.5 cm long, zygomorphic, with two ‘lips’ closing the corolla tube; wild plants have pink to purple flowers, often with yellow lips. The fruit is an ovoid capsule 10-14 mm diameter, containing numerous small seeds. The plants are pollinated by bumblebees, and the flowers close over the insects when they enter and deposit pollen on their bodies.

Absolutely gorgeous Snap Dragon seeds. Harvested in 2022 from multiple varieties and colours. Includes red pink, orange, yellow varieties. This is the tall variety of snap dragons that are great for cut flowers. All grown in ZONE 3. Common Name Snapdragon, dog's mouth, lion's mouth, toad's mouth Botanical Name Antirrhinum majus Family Plantaginaceae Plant Type Herbaceous perennial (usually grown as an annual) Mature Size 6–48 in. wide (depends on variety), 6–12 in. across Sun Exposure Full sun, part shade Soil Type Rich, moist, well-draining Soil pH 6.2–7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral) Bloom Time Spring to fall; may slow down in mid-summer Flower Color White, yellow, pink, red, orange, peach, purple, violet Hardiness Zones 7–11 (USDA); grown as annuals everywhere Native Area Mediterranean Europe, Syria, Turkey Light: Your snapdragons will bloom most profusely in full sun to partial shade. Once the temperature heats up, they may stop blooming altogether. Planting them in part shade and keeping them well-watered will help them make it through the summer and they will likely bloom again in fall. Soil: Snapdragons like a neutral soil pH between 6.2 and 7.0, rich in nutrients and well-draining. As short-lived plants, they are not heavy feeders, but adding organic matter will help keep them healthy and blooming. Water: Snapdragons need adequate watering. Keep seedlings moist for the first few weeks. Once established, snapdragon will need approximately 1 inch of water per week in times of no rainfall. Water near the crown of the plant and avoid overhead watering to keep your snapdragon healthy. Once established, let the top inch of soil dry fully before watering. Temperature and Humidity: Snapdragons are tender perennials that are hardy in USDA zones 7-11. But snapdragons prefer cooler temperatures and are at their best when nighttime temperatures are in the low 40s F and daytime temperatures in the low 70s F. For this reason, they are usually grown as annuals to provide garden color in the cooler months of spring and fall. Once established in the bed and hardened off, snapdragons can withstand sub-freezing temperatures. If you make sure they stay well-watered during cold spells and add a layer of pine straw mulch, they can last for quite some time and will survive quite low temperatures until the chill has passed. Seedlings grown indoors need to be hardened off for about 10 days to two weeks before planting in the garden. Fertilizer: Apply fertilizer when the plants first start producing flowers. Use a standard, well-balanced all-purpose fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 product, at a rate of three pounds for every 100 square feet of the flowerbed. Water well to minimize the risk of nitrogen burns and to help the fertilizer reach the roots. Excellent germination rate of around 95%. These can be started indoors now and you will have beautiful plants for your garden or containers by the time you need them. These can also be direct seeded right in the ground for later blooms! ***All of these pictures are taken by me in my backyard. They really are that stunning! Approximately 40~ seeds/package.

Antirrhinum majus (common snapdragon; often - especially in horticulture - simply “snapdragon”) is a species of flowering plant belonging to the genus Antirrhinum. The plant was placed in the Plantaginaceae family following a revision its prior classical family, Scrophulariaceae. The plants can tolerate a light frost, so they can be set out as early as the ground can be worked. For the earliest blooms, sow Snapdragon seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before setting the plants out. Use quality starter mix and sow the flower seeds on the surface of the pre-moistened mix and gently press the seed in. Harden off the seedlings for 10 - 14 days before planting outdoors. Pinch back at the time of transplanting to encourage branching. For areas with mild winters, sow the seeds outdoors in a sheltered seed bed in late summer. Transplant the young plants into their permanent location for blooms in winter and spring. Snapdragons should be grown in rich, well-drained soil. Adding organic matter is very beneficial to the plants. Grow them in full sun, and space this tall variety 12 - 18 inches apart. Snapdragon care includes trimming the plants back after they are done blooming to promote a second flush of blooms. They perform best in cooler summer climates. In hot regions, provide the plants with some afternoon shade.
