Corn snapdragon is a charming annual-like perennial with small pink to rose-purple snapdragon-type flowers, well-suited to sunny borders, meadows, or cottage gardens. It prefers well-drained soils and a sunny to partly shaded position, requiring only moderate watering once established. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage a longer flowering season throughout summer.
