Snapshot™ Red Bicolor Snapdragon

Snapshot™ Red Bicolor is a compact dwarf snapdragon with upright spikes of red flowers marked by yellow throats and white tubes, as described in [Greenhouse Grower’s Spring Trials report](https://www.greenhousegrower.com/crops/spring-trials-2010-senecio-to-unicia/). The exact seed selection grows about 8–10 inches high and 10–12 inches wide, making it suited to low borders, edging, and small containers. ## Season and placement [PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/057704570004469/snapdragon-snapshot-red-bicolor/) identifies this cultivar by product code PAS425813 and lists early spring, spring, and autumn flowering. The breeder describes bushy, compact plants with closely spaced flower spikes for spring and autumn packs. [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/antirrhinum-majus/) describes snapdragons as short-lived tender perennials grown as annuals, preferring moist, rich, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. They perform best in cool weather and may languish in summer heat. ## Garden use Use repeated groups for an even band of two-tone color; the compact size also works in containers and along a sunny bed edge. ## Maintenance Avoid overhead watering. Remove finished flower spikes to prolong bloom, and watch for rust and other fungal problems in humid or crowded conditions.
