Going to seed. Ignore, no intervention is required. Feed for re-bloom.

If your weather's hot, snapdragon will typically take the summer off. You'll have green, but few blossoms (if any). They'll be back in fall.

You can if you wish, but don't have to if you don't want to. Snaps will drop those flower ends and neaten themselves up...although yours is clearly a hybrid. I use the smaller jewel box snaps which have better habits than most hybrids and self-clean in a day or so.

Snaps detest hot weather, but will tolerate it (hybrids, again, tend to be a bit touchier about that). Keep watered, well-mulched, and fed, and they tend to do fine. Mine may take a break in July, but usually don't, and just keep blooming. Lighter than May or September, but blooming.
