Sold in November when the urge to plant something cheerful overtakes good sense—snapdragons are your answer for cool-season color. This mix gives you reds, pinks, yellows, and bicolors all in one flat, each plant compact enough for a border or tucked into a container.

They'll flower through winter here and into spring before the heat shuts them down. Plant in loose, well-draining soil and thin them if crowding happens; snapdragons hate wet feet.
