Bought a couple of snapdragons to brighten up a bed, and planted them side

The pink one is still flowering but the white one isn't.
I have no idea why they should behave differently.

I find them the best and longest flowering bedding plants. Pinching-out and
deadheading turns them into perennials although they get quite tall and
woody. I've never tried cuttings, but that probably works too.
I find I can keep them going for a couple of years but not much
longer. Cuttings do work and I've done that with some self seeders
that came up a stunning dark mauve. In fact it's rather interesting
saving seed to see what you get, I started with all pink and got
cream, mauve, yellow white....
all were beautiful too.
