Snapdragons

Initially I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to plant snapdragons in our yard this year but late summer I started seeing these pop up in the back by some of our garden beds in a rocky area that had some perennial roses and lilies.

So I am very delighted that these are growing in various colours. I did some research and there are a couple of varieties that are perennial.

I think this may be Spanish snapdragons usually found in blooms of pink and yellow, they are about a foot tall. It does well in heat and drier conditions. They are hardy in Zones 5-8 and are an excellent choice for rock gardens.

I guess the true test will be if they grow again next year. But for now I’m super excited and thankful to have these snapdragons growing in our yard.

So colourful. Takes me back to the UK. We always had snapdragons in our garden. Don't see them here in Australia though.
