The Magic Carpet Snapdragon, 'Antirrhinum majus', is a dwarf plant that has a trailing habit that makes it excellent for border fronts, planter boxes, and as an unusual groundcover. Magic Carpet Snapdragons blooms in spring to early summer. Snapdragons display shades of red, white, yellow, and pink on 4 to 6 inch flower stalks. They prefer and will bloom best in full sun.

Magic Carpet Snapdragons prefer well drained, neutral PH soils. To encourage fall blooming, cut back spent flower stalks after their primary late spring, early summer bloom period. Plant them in early spring. In warm climates, plant in late summer. If the Snapdragons get to bud stage before nights get to 50 degrees, they will bloom much of the winter and spring.
