Nursery contributed plant descriptions

There are several species of snapdragons that look very similar, with fuzzy gray leaves, a flat or trailing growth habit, and small white flowers marked with pink and yellow. This one has the largest flowers of the species we grow, and flowers the most continuously throughout the summer, never really covered with flowers, but always seems to have some sprinkled around the plant. Unlike the standard garden snapdragons, heat and drought tolerant, and also seems to be the hardiest of the snapdragons. I've grown it for years in zone 5, though it has been a LONG time since we had a really, really, cold winter.Good drainage required for maximum winter hardiness. Zone 6, probably 5
