Description
Candy Showers Red snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) produces bright red blooms on cascading stems, adding a splash of cool-season color to hanging baskets, window boxes, and container combinations.
Growing in Alabama
Plant in full sun and a fertile potting mix or garden soil that drains freely. Keep the roots evenly moist but not waterlogged, particularly while establishing. In Alabama, snapdragons shine during fall and spring when temperatures are mild; sustained summer heat can slow flowering. Remove spent flower spikes and lightly trim leggy stems to keep the plant attractive.
Size: Approximately 6 inches tall with a 16–20-inch spread. Use: A trailing accent for cool-weather porch planters and baskets.
