Description
Antirrhinum majus Liberty Crimson is an upright snapdragon with rich crimson flower spikes and fresh green foliage. It typically reaches about 18–22 inches tall and 12–14 inches wide, providing bold vertical color in garden beds, mixed containers, and cut-flower arrangements.
Growing in Alabama
Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil during fall or late winter. Snapdragons bloom best in Alabama’s cooler months and often flower into spring when spent spikes are removed regularly. Keep soil evenly moist while plants establish, then water deeply as needed without saturating the roots. Light feeding supports continued flowering. Hot, humid summer weather commonly reduces bloom and plant vigor.
Provide spacing for airflow and avoid frequent wetting of foliage to help prevent disease. Use Liberty Crimson with pansies, violas, and other cool-season annuals for strong seasonal contrast.
