This year, I decided to grow Ferry Morse First Lady Mix snapdragons, a delightful choice for any garden enthusiast. These charming flowers are not tall plants but rather short, typically about 18 inches tall, making them an ideal option for both borders and container gardens. What I find particularly appealing is that they bloom the first year after planting, delivering instant gratification for my gardening efforts. In my zone 8b garden, they come back as a perennial plant as well, showcasing their resilience and beauty year after year. The blooms are indeed more abundant the next year when they return in the spring, creating a vibrant display filled with various colors that attract butterflies and bees. Their low-maintenance needs and ability to thrive in warmer climates make them a fantastic addition to my floral collection, and I eagerly anticipate their return each season.
