Annual snapdragons love cool weather and look great in beds, borders, and containers. The classic snapdragon varieties have colorful, jointed flowers that “talk” when squeezed (they open and close like a mouth moving). It’s a fun trick to do with your kids. For 2010, plant breeders have taken the original snapdragon to a new level.

Next spring you’ll see a new snapdragon variety that’s won the All-America Selections Award (AAS). Twinny’ Peach’ hybrid snapdragon grows just a foot tall and features peach-colored double flowers with a butterfly shape. (Unfortunately for the kids, the flowers aren’t jointed so it can’t “talk.”) Twinny’ Peach’ is one of the first dwarf, double-flowered snapdragons on the market.
