2019 Year Of The Snapdragon
Posted by Staff of goGardenNow on
This is what I've been waiting for. Snapdragon - an old-time favorite - is getting some well-deserved recognition.
NGB says, "Looking for a flower that has multiple uses in the garden, smells great, attracts pollinators and comes in scads of colors? Then you should be planting snapdragons."
"For some gardeners, snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) is one of those flowers that evokes memories of their parents’ or grandparents’ garden. It is a nostalgic plant that can foster an emotional tie to the past. Tall varieties can be used as fresh cuts in floral arrangements and dwarf and medium varieties can be used in containers and garden plantings."
