Snapdragons are very popular short-lived garden perennials that are usually grown as annuals. They are a mainstay of classic flower gardens, with infinite uses, from mixed border gardens to flower boxes to patio containers. The common name derives from the shape of the individual flower heads, which resemble the snout of a dragon, and which even open and close in a snapping motion, as often happens when pollinators open the jaws to reach the pollen. The alternate, lanceolate leaves are arranged in a spiral around the stem. The botanical name, Antirrhinum majus, means inch like a snout inch and refers to the flower's resemblance to a calf's nose. Snapdragons rely largely on large bumblebees for pollination, as smaller honeybees are unable to open the flower's inch jaws inch . 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 slow down and stop blooming in heat of mid-summer, if you keep them watered, they will perk up and carry your garden through the fall. From seed germination to flowers can take two to three months, so snapdragons are often started indoors many weeks before the last winter frost.
