    Hello.
    I planted some Antirrhinums last year in a big pot on a south facing wall. they still look perfectly healthy now. I just trimmed them up a bit but are they likely to flower this year or are they just hanging on in there for as long as poss?! I know they're an annual but I rather thought they would have died back.

    They are perennials, best grown as annuals in the UK.

      Yes they can if the winter is mild or they are pretty sheltered. I have them in our garden, not particularly long lived though, so I take cutttngs each year.

        ah. well they have lots of little new shoots coming so I will have a go at that. I've not tried growing from cuttings before but they were really lovely and it would be good to give it a go. thank you!

        Watch out for rust, probably not there now but later in the season, often overwintered plants harbour it and it gets passed onto the new generation.
