Description of Multicolor Varieties

Snapdragons are unique because they can display multiple colors within a single floret or as a "formula mix" on one plant spike. 

  • Bicolor Blooms: Varieties like 'Lucky Lips' (rose and cream) or 'Potomac Appleblossom' (soft pink and white) feature two distinct colors on the same flower.
  • Unique Textures:
    • Madame Butterfly

      : Features "azalea-type" double blooms that are ruffled and fluffy in a mix of orange, bronze, and pink.
    • Chantilly Series

      : Known as "butterfly" snapdragons, these have open faces without the typical "snap," allowing easier access for pollinators.
    • Tutti Frutti

      : A shorter variety offering unique speckled and striped multicolored flowers.
  • Sizes: They range from Dwarf (6–10 inches) for edging to Tall (up to 4 feet) for vertical interest and cutting. 

Expert Care Guide

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours daily). In hot climates, partial shade can help them survive summer heat until they rebloom in the fall.
  • Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil with a neutral pH (6.2–7.0).
  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist—about 1 inch of water per week once established. To prevent fungal diseases like rust, water at the base early in the morning and avoid getting foliage wet.
  • Maintenance:
    • Pinching: For bushier plants with more stems, pinch off the top 1–2 inches when the plant is about 4–6 inches tall.
    • Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flower spikes to prevent seed formation and encourage a second flush of blooms.
  • Temperature: Snapdragons are frost-tolerant and thrive when nights are around 40°F and days are in the 70s.
