How do you bring snapdragons back to life?
Deadhead the Fading Flowers
Cut the snapdragon back by one-third to two-thirds following the first blooming flush to encourage new growth and induce the plant to set flower buds for another round of blooming.
What is wrong with my snapdragons?
The most common disease of snapdragons is snapdragon rust, caused by the pathogen Puccinia antirrhini. Small, yellow flecks scattered across leaves are the first hint of infection, followed by browning or blackening centers in the middle of the specks. The spots become powdery when they mature due to the fungal spores.
How do you support snapdragons?
Clip the top stem and any long side shoots to encourage more flowers and more attractive planting. Tall varieties of snapdragons may require staking to remain upright. When blooms begin to fade due to summer's heat, clip the plant by one-third to one-half and expect more blooms when temperatures begin to cool in fall.
What is killing my snapdragons?

Why do my snapdragons look like they're dying?
When soil is flooded or saturated for more than a few days, root injury or death ensues because roots cannot perform basic, necessary functions, such as taking up oxygen and nutrients. Even though there is more than enough water in the soil, the roots are unable to absorb it and the plant reacts by wilting.
