Notes
'Rocket Red' snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus 'Rocket Red') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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 moisture. It flowers in spring, summer, and autumn, and it attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with African marigold, Sarah Bernhardt peony, and Garlic chives.
