Perennials

Antirrhinum majus 'Snapshot Burgundy'

Snapshot Burgundy Snapdragon

Antirrhinum majus 'Snapshot Burgundy' is a tender perennial that produces densely packed spikes of rich fuchsia-burgundy flowers from late spring through summer, bringing deep color and vertical interest to the garden. The flowers open progressively from the bottom of each spike upward, extending the display while attracting bees and other pollinators. Their distinctive dragon-shaped blossoms add texture and detail to planting combinations.

Originating from a species native to the Mediterranean region, this cultivar reflects modern breeding focused on abundant flowering and garden performance.

Design tip

Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. Give it open sun and room to fill out, and repeat it in threes or fives so the planting reads as one sweep instead of scattered dots.
