Description

Snapshot Red Bicolor Snapdragons exhibit a mounded growth habit, with stems that rise upward, spiraling leaves, and clusters of lightly fragrant, vibrant red and yellow 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 Red Bicolor 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.

In Alabama, Snapshot Red Bicolor snapdragons perform best in the cooler months, from fall into spring. Plant in a sunny location with well-drained soil, water consistently during dry spells, and remove spent blooms. Expect flowering to decline when summer heat arrives.
