Summer Snapdragon
Mounds of dark green foliage are topped by spikes of pink flowers with a darker eye that resemble snapdragons. The non-hardy perennial from Central America thrives during the heat and humidity of summer when planted in full sun and well drained soils. Attracts a number of pollinators and is basically insect and disease free. Plant after soils have warmed in late Spring/early Summer.
