Dragon face flowers. Snapdragons got their name because their petals look like a dragon's head, and when you gently squeeze the sides of the flower, it opens and closes like the dragon is talking to you.

Rocky mountain homes. These special flowers originally grew wild in rocky places across Europe, North Africa, Canada, and the United States, where they liked to live on stony ground.

Garden superstars. People love planting snapdragons in flower gardens and cutting them to bring inside because they come in amazing colors like pink, red, yellow, white, and purple.

Easy to grow. Snapdragons are friendly flowers that don't need tons of special care, making them perfect for beginner gardeners who want to see colorful blooms.

Interactive flowers. Kids and grown-ups love squeezing snapdragon flowers gently to make their "mouths" open and close, which makes them fun to play with in the garden.
