Antirrhinum, commonly known as snapdragon, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Plantaginaceae. These plants are native to the Mediterranean region and are known for their unique, tubular flowers that resemble a dragon's mouth, which can be squeezed to open and close. They come in various colors, including pink, red, yellow, and white, making them popular in gardens and floral arrangements. Snapdragons are typically grown as annuals or biennials and thrive in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. They attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to biodiversity in gardens.
