Notes
'Opus III Lavender' snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus 'Opus III Lavender') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Its fragrant lavender flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Pairs well with Purple top, California poppy, and Goldenrod.
