Rose Snapdragon
Antirrhinum multiflorum · Plantaginaceae
How it looks
Rose Snapdragon is a type of snapdragon whose mouth-shaped flowers, looking like parted lips, line an upright stalk like a spike. The flowers are strongly pink to red, and the leaves are narrow, long, and dark green. It grows 20 in to 3 ft (50 cm-1 m) tall.
Rose Snapdragon is listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. An occasional nibble is unlikely to cause any real trouble.
Guide for parents
A California native with pink flowers. Even with a safe plant, make a habit of picking up fallen leaves the same day. If your cat likes to dig in or eat potting soil, fertilizer ingredients can upset their stomach — covering the soil with pebbles works well. If it comes home as a cut stem, florists often treat it with preservatives, so place the vase where your cat can't drink the water.
