This annual is a favorite flower in the gardens of Great Britain because it is readily established from Snapdragon seeds, and it gives an incredible display of colourful blooms. This tall red annual is incredibly beautiful! Millions of these flowers are grown in greenhouses to be used as cut flowers for florists. They are an all-around excellent performing flower. Most cultivated Snapdragons belong to the species Antirrhinum majus, a native of the Mediterranean region. The lower blossoms open first and then on up to the top of a tall stem.
