Notes
Cannes Red II-III snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus Cannes Red II-III) is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer tend to pass it by. Its fragrant red blooms appear on tall stems and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Purple top, Stock, and Blue mistflower.
