Snap Dragons are part of the Foxglove family and really quite a fun addition to any garden. These easy to grow annuals come in a wonderful variety of colors to brighten any border, bed, or outdoor pots. You can try them in rock gardens and window boxes, too. Clip and carry inside to add to your summer bouquet or leave them all clustered together in a cozy vase. Generally they bloom early in July. When the heat gets unbearable, they'll wilt and die down. With a little care you'll have double the pleasure for they could re-bloom in September or keep going 'til October. (Cut them back and spread a little fertilizer with hopes for a second round.)
Great for kids and grand kids, take off the "dragon" and have a little fun - pinch and clip. Clip on to earlobes for earrings, clip on to collar for summertime jewelry, clip on to fingers for posy nails, clip on to the back of a pencil or straw ... such fun for little ones.
