Black Prince Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) -First introduced to seed houses around 1915, this heirloom snapdragon remains a standout favorite. Both the foliage and flowers are exceptionally striking—dense spikes of deep crimson blooms rise above dark bronze-purple leaves, creating dramatic contrast in the garden. Plants flower generously throughout summer and continue well into autumn. Stunning when paired with white blooms such as Fizzy White Cosmos or White Canterbury Bells.
