Snapdragons are not considered to be winter hardy and are best grown in USDA zones 9, 10, and 11. However, with the right care, they can thrive in other climate regions as well.

The leaves of Snapdragons are relatively narrow, with a width of 2 to 3 cm and a size ranging from 5 to 7.5 cm in length. These lanceolate-shaped leaves provide a beautiful contrast to the vibrant flowers and bring balance to the overall appearance of the plant.

To cultivate Snapdragons successfully, it is essential to provide them with well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Regular watering is necessary to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can also help retain the soil's moisture and inhibit weed growth.
