Know before you buy
Unlike traditional upright snapdragons, this is the first trailing variety available from seed. Its growth habit is low and spreading, making it specifically suited for hanging baskets and containers rather than garden borders.
While they excel in hanging baskets and mixed containers, they also work well as a ground cover. Their trailing habit allows them to spread 10-12 inches wide, creating a vibrant carpet of orange.
These snapdragons are best suited for spring and fall. They are bred to bloom easily under short-day conditions, meaning they perform best when temperatures are cooler and may struggle in the peak heat of mid-summer.
They thrive in full sun to partial sun. For the best performance and most vibrant color, ensure they receive at least six hours of light, though they appreciate some protection from intense afternoon heat.
No, the Snapdragon Candy Showers Orange is an annual. It is designed to complete its life cycle in one season, providing a quick, high-impact display of color for your spring or fall arrangements.
