Description
The common snapdragon’s wild forms are at home in the Mediterranean region stretching from Marocco and Portugal, all the way to Turkey. They grow well in dry locations, in rock crevices and big cracks in stone-walls. Many varieties have been cultivated and cross-selected since the 15th centuary. The seeds of this selection will produce snapdragons in a vivid colour mix of yellow, pink, purple and white that will brighten up your garden from June to August.
