Hi
These plants have appeared! Do you think they are snap dragon plants? There seem to be three different colours. Thanks

Yes, they come in lots of different colours.

Yes, there are loads of different colours of snapdragons. Aren’t they nice?

Yes, otherwise known as Antirrhinum. Lovely.

Thank you

I'll buy some seeds to try them elsewhere in the garden as they look really nice.

I definitely didn't plant them!

Yes, they come in a huge range of lovely cheerful colours. They are especially good flowers for bumblebees, because it's only bumblebees that are strong enough to push the flower head open and get into the food within. So snap dragons are invaluable as a reliable food source for bumblebees. 🐝 🐝 🐝

If you leave the seed heads on them when they finish flowering, they will seed themselves in that flower bed. That's probably how they got there in the first place.

Keep deadheading them to get them to bush out and reflower. They can flower for months on end like this.
