  • Versatile Planting: Perfect for adding height to borders, as a striking feature in mixed beds, and they also thrive in patio containers.   
  • Attracts Pollinators: Snapdragon flowers are known to attract beneficial insects like bees to your garden.

  • Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases.   
  • Feeding: Feed lightly with a balanced liquid fertilizer a few weeks after transplanting and again mid-season to encourage continuous blooming.
