Snapshot™ Purple Snapdragon

Snapshot™ Purple is a compact dwarf snapdragon selected for purple flower spikes. PanAmerican Seed lists this cultivar in the Snapshot series, with upright growth and early spring, spring, and autumn flowering. ## Form and flowering The breeder’s product page identifies **Snapshot™ Purple** (PAS409644) as *Antirrhinum majus nanum*. It lists an 8–10-inch height, 10–12-inch width, full-sun exposure, and an upright habit, with spring and autumn sales flowering. The cultivar name indicates a coral bicolor display, though the breeder does not specify the exact shade pattern. See the [PanAmerican Seed cultivar page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/057704570004341/snapdragon-snapshot-purple/). ## Growing conditions [Ball Seed](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=057704570004341) lists medium water for this exact Snapshot selection. For snapdragons generally, [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/snapdragon) recommends full sun to light shade and moist, well-drained soil, describes cooler-season performance, and notes that spent spikes can be removed to promote rebloom. Follow local conditions when watering; the breeder’s profile does not give a cultivar-specific soil texture or USDA hardiness zone. The series is compact and strongly branched, so it works as a low border or in small beds where its upright flower spikes remain visible. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist without leaving it waterlogged, and remove old flower spikes when continued bloom is wanted. [Ball Seed](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=057704570004341) reports that this Snapshot selection attracts bees and hummingbirds, has fragrant flowers, and is low maintenance. Snapdragons generally perform best in mild spring and autumn weather.
