Snapdragon vines are delicate, herbaceous vines that grow up to 3 feet long. A small, rose-purple flower appears on a slender pedicel from the axil of triangular, lobed leaves. She is also known as Roving Sailor.

Despite not being a true snapdragon, this vine is attractive, charming, and well worth cultivating as a small, dense vine or groundcover, with each plant covering about 3 x 3 feet. In abundant blooms, the tiny flowers resemble garden snapdragons that grow on spikes.

The Snapdragon vine is a diminutive climber that can be used as a trailing vine from a hanging basket or as a trellis climber. They resemble tiny snapdragon blossoms. It is relatively cold and hardy in Central Texas, so protect it north of Austin. Buckeye butterflies eat snapdragon vines for larval food.
