Summary

Maurandella antirrhiniflora, commonly known as Violet Twining Snapdragon, is a deciduous perennial vine native to open woodlands, forest edges, and riparian areas in the Southwestern USA and Mexico. It can reach heights and widths of 6-9 feet, twining around structures and other plants for support. The Violet Twining Snapdragon is notable for its tubular flowers that come in shades of pink, purple, red, and white, blooming profusely in the spring and providing a showy display. The foliage is typically green and lance-shaped, adding to its ornamental value.

This vine is valued for its ability to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, making it a beneficial addition to wildlife gardens. It is used for vertical interest in gardens, on trellises, fences, and arbors. It is relatively easy to maintain, requiring only moderate water once established and thriving in a variety of soil types with good drainage. While it prefers full sun to part shade, it is adaptable to less ideal conditions. There are no major disease problems, but it can be susceptible to aphids. Gardeners should be aware that it may require regular pruning to keep it within bounds and to promote more vigorous growth.CC BY-SA 4.0
