Description Creeping snapdragon (Asarina procumbens) produces trailing stems with soft green to gray green leaves and light yellow, snapdragon-like flowers that are faintly streaked with reddish purple. Blooming from early or midsummer to early or mid fall, it can flower the first year from a late-winter or early-spring sowing. The plants reach just a few inches tall and can hug the ground, trail over the edge of a retaining wall, or cascade out of a container planting. It’s very pretty along a path, although it doesn’t like to be stepped on. Full sun to partial shade. Perennial, but you can grow it as an annual where it’s not winter-hardy; Zones 7 (maybe 6) to 8. Best where summers aren’t too hot; it’s most vigorous in cooler conditions. The plants can self-sow, so even if the original plants don’t survive the winter, the volunteers may replace them. Collected in August 2024. At least 15 seeds. Shipping to U.S. addresses only. Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
