Care & Harvest

✂️ Pruning: Check the roots monthly and trimming any that are brown or extending past the yPod. To encourage new flower bud development, remove dead flower heads, called deadheading. 

🔎 Plant Health: Aphids are a common pest, but you can use our prevention and treatment tricks to keep pests at bay!

🌻 Harvest: Enjoy your flowers anywhere in your home cut-free by using the Gardyn Vase! Alternatively, to use as a cut flower, snip the stems at a 45° angle just above a leaf node at the desired height. Leave ⅓ of the plant at a time to let it continue growing and enjoy multiple waves of blooms throughout the plant’s life.

Quick Facts

Snapdragons are believed to be native to the Mediterranean region and southern Europe. While originally only white or purple, today they come in a wide range of colors and sizes, from 6 inches to as tall as 4 feet. The botanical name for Snapdragon is Antirrhinum majus. In Greek, the word anti means “like” while rrhinum means “snout”, which aligns perfectly with the flower’s appearance that resembles the jaws and snout of a dragon.

This dwarf Snapdragon variety has beautiful flowers with light purple centers and bright pink-purple edges on plants that reach 8-10 inches in height. For fun, you can squeeze the back of flower heads to open and close the “Dragon’s snout” of the petals!

Snapdragon is a great cutting variety for bouquets, or to display in the Gardyn Vase. While the flowers don’t have much flavor, they are edible and can be used as a fun garnish.
