Antirrhinum – Snapdragon – border annual for a blaze of colour
Antirrhinums are better known as Snapdragons because the individual flower resembles a dragon’s face. They are one of the most colourful of border flowers that attract an abundance of wildlife. They generally have a long flowering season from early summer to mid-autumn. Flowers continue to bloom from the bottom up to the top and can be dead-headed regularly to keep looking their best.
