Description
Snapshot Orange Snapdragons exhibit a mounded growth habit, with stems that rise upward, spiraling leaves, and clusters of lightly fragrant, vibrant pinkish-orange flowers. These plants bloom abundantly in cooler weather and can sustain blooming into the fall with extra watering and fertilizer through the summer. Their lusciously pigmented flowers are ideal for drawing bees and hummingbirds to any garden. At maturity, this variety of snapdragon reaches approximately 10 inches in height and spreads to about 18 inches. The Snapshot Orange Snapdragon is well-suited for garden beds and combination planters, provided it receives full sun for most of the day and is not left in standing water. Pruning is seldom necessary, except to remove any dieback. It thrives in hardiness zones 7-11.
For Alabama gardens, set Snapshot Orange snapdragons out in fall or late winter for their best cool-season bloom. Provide sun, fertile well-drained soil, and steady moisture without waterlogging. Flowers may slow or stop during hot, humid summer weather; remove faded stems to encourage fresh blooms while temperatures remain mild.
