Chimes Bronze is a cute little snapdragon, topping out at around 6-8" in height. Its bright-colored flowers bloom in early summer and, if deadheaded, rebloom in late summer or early fall, when temperatures start to moderate. It rarely puts out a flower in the worst heat of summer.

Commonly considered annuals, snapdragons often overwinter for me in my zone 6 yard, though not reliably. Often the upper part of the plant becomes mushy in winter, but the lower part of the plant remains evergreen throughout winter. Trimming back in spring encourages new growth to resume for another year of flowers.
