When it comes to flowering months, the Snapdragon showcases its beauty from May to September, blooming consistently throughout the summer season. This extended blooming period allows for a longer enjoyment of its exceptional flowers.

The leaves of the Snapdragon are another impressive feature. They have a width of 3 to 4 cm and 2 to 3 cm, and come in sizes of 4 to 5 cm and 5 to 7.5 cm. The main color of the leaves is a rich dark green, which provides a lovely contrast against the white flowers.

In terms of flower color distribution, the Snapshot White showcases a touch of another hue. With a trace of yellow, it adds a subtle pop of color, further enhancing the overall visual appeal of the plant.
