Snapdragon Vine
- Shipping Available
Also known as Snapdragon Vine, Roving Sailor, Climbing Snapdragon, Little Snapdragon Vine
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. Each plant covers about 3 x 3 feet. In abundant blooms, the tiny flowers resemble garden snapdragons that grow on spikes.
Snapdragon vines are diminutive climbers that can be used as trailing vines from hanging baskets or as trellis climbers. They resemble tiny snapdragon blossoms. Snapdragon vines are relatively cold and hardy in Central Texas, so protect them north of Austin. Buckeye butterflies eat snapdragon vines for larval food.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
