The present studies comprised of 21 genotypes to assess the diversity present in snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus Linn.) population of different growth and flowering traits. The snapdragon germplasm exhibited significant variation on various growth parameters except dry weight of leaves. Germplasm AG-14 recorded maximum plant height, whereas it was minimum with AG-13. Maximum length of leaf was recorded in germplasm AG-5. However, leaf area was found to be maximum in AG-19. Germplasm AG-7 resulted into longest internodal length. A significant variation was recorded among various germplasm for different flowering parameters. A wide colour range of floret form white, cream, yellow, orange, pink to red was observed in different germplasm. Germplasm AG-6 exhibited maximum number of florets/spike (23.51) and minimum number (8.67) was recorded in AG-9 germplasm. A range from 24.52 cm (AG-19) to 37.05 cm (AG-18) was observed on spike length. However, germplasm AG-9 gave bigger floret (4.80 cm).
