To tell you all to plant these?

[BigOldBlue1]

I bought a small snapdragon, put it in a container and in just two months it exploded, its now 3 times the size it originally was with absolutely zero care.

The really great thing is the bees are in love with it! You cant see as most of them have gone inside the flowers, but there's usually about 5 or 6 at a time digging into it from dawn to dusk, its lovely to see.

I also read that wasps and honey bees can't get into the flowers: the only ones strong enough to open the jaws are bumblebees.

PLANT SNAPDRAGONS!

Yes they self seed like a bitch

KeisiaOAP, they do come up in-between the back patio, but this big area is big 20ml shingle they call "beach" it's a foot deep,then there's a proper sub base, of hardcore, I've no idea how they survive. My Avon woman (who is always rude and I try to avoid seeing,) said her drive was full of weeds like mine,I said they aren't weeds, they're snapdragons, she said what are snapdragons. I replied "they are". I should have said Antirrhinum,doubt if that would have shut her up!

As a child we called them Bunny Rabbits.

Fabulous idea but it's probably too late now, isn't is? I often miss the time window for planting, too late for tomatoes, too late for sweet peas, too late for cosmos... if some keen gardener wants to remind us all that would be great 😀

goingtotown - I knew them as Bunny Rabbits too! Lovely flowers.
