Liberty Classic Crimson Snapdragon is a compact upright tropical perennial with narrow foliage and non-stop flowering. Purple buds open to rich scarlet flowers on tall spikes clad from spring into fall. Grows best in moist, fertile well-drained soils. Heat and humidity tolerant. While often treated as an annual, once established Snapdragons can withstand sub-freezing temperatures down to 25F!
