Among best flowers for sunny borders and cutting, reaching greatest perfection in spring and early summer. In the Lower, Coastal, and Tropical South, will bloom in winter and spring. Individual flower of basic snapdragon has five lobes, which are divided into unequal upper and lower "jaws"; slight pinch at sides of flower will make dragon open its jaws. Later developments include double flowers; the bell-shaped kind, with round, open flowers; and the azaleqa-shaped bloom, which is a double bell flower.
