Antirrhinum majus is a strongly branched, short-lived perennial, often woody at the base, with mostly alternate, lance-shaped, glossy deep green leaves up to 7 cm long. It produces upright racemes of fragrant, two-lipped flowers, 3–4.5 cm across, with spreading rounded upper and lower lobes.
Cultivated varieties come in a wide range of colors including white, yellow, bronze, pink, purple, red, and many attractive bicolours. Blooms appear throughout summer and continue into autumn.
