I can deal with that, because it thrives on neglect and grows in uncultivated ground to act as a screen, covering the space between the deck and the ground. As another poster said, this plant is non-invasive - I wish it was!
I'm very pleased with this plant. The leaf structure is the same as the better-known varieties, but the size is slightly smaller. Relatively strong stems for a dainty snap. Mine are amazingly heat-tolerant, probably because of their overly-shady location and the moisture they (inavertently) get when I water my deck plants.
I love this plant, it's one of the first plants in my main perennial bed to bloom (mid april). Something interesting though, the first ye...Read Morear I planted it it was pale yellow as it should be, but the next year and this year, it's pink, a nice pink, but pink. Not sure what accounts for the color change. I like it but i'm puzzled!

Antirrhinum braun-blanquetii has a wider spread than annual snapdragons, so give it plenty of room.

The flower color is a soft yellow that goes with anything.

It has never been watered or fertilized and only weeded one time! The foliage is a pretty green color and similar to that of an annual snapdragon but softer. The stalks are quite strong and the plant has spread through both reseeding and has gotten bigger at the crown. It is not invasive! (Wish it was!)
not crazy about the color yellow. Does anyone know if there is a pink perennial varity of this plant.
Thanks
