Snap dragons – All About

Snap Dragons, also known as Antirrhinum majus, are beautiful, colorful flowers that come in a variety of hues. They are often used in garden beds and window boxes, providing a splash of color to any garden. But there’s more to snapdragons than their beauty. In this blog post, we’ll dive into all things snapdragon – from planting and care tips to fun facts about the plant.

Planting Tips for Snapdragons

Snapdragons prefer cooler temperatures, so it’s best to plant them in early spring or fall when the weather is milder. Snapdragons need full sun (at least 6 hours of sunlight per day) and prefer soil with good drainage. When planting your snapdragon, dig a hole twice as deep as the root ball and lightly work compost or aged manure into the soil before planting. Be sure to space your plants 12 inches apart – they can grow up to three feet tall!

Watering Snap dragons

Once you have planted your snapdragon, be sure to water it regularly until it becomes established. Keep an eye on the soil; if it starts to feel dry or crumbly, give it some water. However, be careful not to overwater your snapdragon – too much water can cause root rot or other diseases that could harm your plant.

Fun Facts About Snapdragons

Did you know that snapdragons are actually related to herbs? That’s right – they belong to the Scrophulariaceae family along with many other herbs like basil and oregano! The name “snapdragon” comes from an old folk tale which says that if you hold a snapdragon by its stem and squeeze it gently at just the right angle, its mouth will open like a dragon would when preparing for battle! As far as we know though, this is just a myth!

Conclusion:

Snapdragons add beauty and color to any garden or window box – but did you know they have interesting ties with herbs? We hope this blog post has given you all the information you need about planting and caring for snapdragons – and perhaps even inspired you with some fun facts about these beautiful flowers!
