CHAENORRHINUM glareosum. Dwarf snapdragon. Spain. A small perennial of delicate appearance, making a mound 6-12” tall. It has closely branched, slender stems, set with nearly round, dark green leaves, 1/4-1/2” long. It blooms in spring and fall, or almost continuously in our coastal climate. Small violet flowers marked with white, much resembling little snapdragons, are clustered above the leaves. It is a nice addition to the rock garden, or for banks and walls. Sun, well drained soils, moderate watering. Probably hardy to 10oF or less.
