Floral Showers Scarlet Snapdragon is a compact well-branched tropical perennial often grown as an annual, with narrow foliage and dense flowering. Abundant scarlet flowers bloom on sturdy stems in spring and again in summer to fall if deadheaded. 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!
