They're gorgeous, mine never seem to grow that tall 💛🤔

Wow 😮 Is that all one plant?

@pelly thanks Jane 😊 this one can get to 28” apparently. Don’t think it’s far off that 😂 in its second year and thriving. Nice to have hardy perennial snapdragon 🤩 didn’t know they existed 😜

@jeatacake it is 😁 it’s gone mad this year!

It's doing very well for you plenty of flowers, don't forget to dead for a second flush

@alan1111 I’m a deadheading freak so no danger it’ll get left 😂

I planted some in my first year here and they’ve come back ever since. They’re what you call good value for money Kerry 👍😊

@pelly that’s great going! I had no idea they were perennial until this year when it didn’t die back over winter 🤣 I’ve so much to learn 🙈

Gardening is a huge learning curve 😊👍

@pelly that it is!

Just beginning 🤍💛🤍 #snapdragon #antirrhinum #snapdragon-braun-blanquetii #grown-from-seed

Very nice. Admiring the ceanothus too 😉

@jeatacake thanks Jeff ☺️ thought you’d notice that 😉 I never knew snapdragons were perennial but this one went all through winter, like a little evergreen shrub!

Oh yes, a nice ceanothus never goes unnoticed! 💙 Snapdragons are mostly perennial but seldom last beyond a few years. Mind you, by then they'll have hundreds of offspring waiting to take over from self seeding, unless you're vigilant with the deadheading.

@jeatacake that’s good to know 😛 love them but have been throwing them away every autumn 🙈

Looking good Kez 😊😊💚💚

@midnightgardener thanks Christine 😛 things are moving fast out there now. So much change from one day to the next 🤗

I love lemon ones and pink. I bought a pink one this week. I might have to have another one!😊😊💛💛

@midnightgardener they’re fantastic flowers aren’t they. Like childhood in a plant 😛 oh a pink one sounds pretty 💗

@gardengirlla thank you Maggie 😀 yours bloom late in the year?

@gardengirlla aaah, I forget about the humidity. But nice you get an extended flowering season once it cools off a bit 😁
