Does such a thing even exist?

You indicated that you a looking for a plant for the summer in a spot
that will be quite warm. Here in my part of southern California,
snapdragons are strictly a winter flower. They do not survive the heat
of summer. While your winter is likely too cold for snapdragons, your
summer is probably as warm as mine. Forget them.
