I planted snapdragens last year and they have flower and some are dieing off. I need to know how to cut them back and what care they need to keep them in good health.

Snapdragons are usually considered annuals but in your warm winter gardening region, snapdragons can live over the winter months and flower again the following spring. I simply cut off all the old stems in the early spring and the roots produce new flowering stems. Your snapdragons may do the same - simply clip all the old stems down to ground level. Best wishes with your snaps!
