Antirrhinum majus (Red), commonly known as the Red Snapdragon, is a showy, upright annual or short-lived perennial prized for its tall spikes of bright red, dragon-shaped flowers. Native to the Mediterranean region, this plant features lance-shaped green leaves and densely packed blooms that open sequentially from the bottom of the spike upward. The flowers have a distinctive "snapping" mechanism, which opens when gently pressed—hence the name "snapdragon."
This red variety adds vivid color and vertical interest to garden beds, borders, and containers. It blooms profusely from spring through fall in cool to moderate climates and prefers full sun and well-drained soil. With heights ranging from 30 to 90 cm (1–3 feet), Antirrhinum majus is also popular in floral arrangements and attracts pollinators, especially bees, making it both a decorative and ecologically beneficial garden choice.
Flower Beds & Borders: Adds vertical interest and bold red color to garden designs.
Cottage Gardens: Perfect for informal, classic flower garden styles.
Mass Planting: Creates vibrant color blocks when planted in groups.
Mixed Plantings: Pairs well with other annuals like marigolds, petunias, and pansies.
Ideal for patio pots, window boxes, or balconies due to their upright growth and compact habit in dwarf varieties.
Long-lasting blooms make it a favorite in fresh floral arrangements and bouquets.
Adds height, texture, and color contrast.
Attracts bees and other pollinators, supporting local biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Useful in pollinator gardens.
Commonly used in school biology lessons to demonstrate:
Pollination mechanisms (the "snap" flower structure)
Flower morphology
Genetics and breeding (especially due to its variation in flower color and form)
Used in plant breeding programs for its diverse flower colors and forms.
Model organism in genetic studies of flower development.
Full sun (6+ hours/day) is best for strong growth and abundant blooms.
