Notes
'Costa II Mix' snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus 'Costa II Mix') 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. The fragrant pink, rose, and white blooms open in spring, summer, and autumn and draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with California poppy, Stock, Gladiolus, and Anemone.
