Snapdragon ‘Canary Bird’
Botanical Name: Antirrhinum majus
Type: Half-Hardy Annual

Snapdragon ‘Canary Bird’ is a charming, classic variety that produces tall spikes of soft, buttery-yellow blooms resembling the wings of a canary in flight. These cheerful flowers bloom abundantly from early summer to autumn, bringing brightness and structure to borders, beds, and cutting gardens. Long-loved for their nostalgic charm and resilience, snapdragons are easy to grow, withstand cooler weather, and attract bees and butterflies all season long.
