Short Description: 
Antirrhinum, commonly known as snapdragon, is a charming annual or biennial flowering plant characterized by its distinctive, tubular flowers that come in various colors. The flowers can be "snapped" open and closed, adding a playful element to gardens.

How to Grow Antirrhinum: 

1. Location:  Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Snapdragons thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

2. Soil Preparation:  Amend the soil with organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. A pH of 6.0 to 7.0 is ideal.

3. Sowing Seeds:  Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date or sow them directly in the garden after the frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil, as they need light to germinate.

4. Watering:  Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid fungal diseases.

5. Fertilizing:  Apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.

6. Deadheading:  Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prolong the flowering period.

7. Pests and Diseases:  Watch for aphids and powdery mildew. Use insecticidal soap for pests and ensure good air circulation to prevent mildew.

With proper care, snapdragons will reward you with vibrant flowers throughout the growing season!
