The common snapdragon is one of our most familiar flowers, brightening cottage gardens and fascinating children on both sides of the Atlantic for centuries.
Native originally to North Africa, Spain and along the Mediterranean coast to Italy, the common snapdragon has become naturalized in temperate regions throughout the U.S. and southeast Canada.
There are many species, but they do not take a large place in gardens, among the best being A. Asarina and A. rupestre. Of the common Snapdragon, the garden varieties are now numerous, and often showy in effect, the best being the pure colors.
