Are snapdragons annuals?

Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus) are considered to be short-lived perennials or tender perennials in their native Mediterranean region. However, in most other parts of the world where they are grown, they are usually treated as annuals, as they typically do not survive winter conditions. They are often grown as bedding plants or in containers and are usually replaced each year. So, while they can technically be grown as perennials in some regions, they are typically considered to be annuals in most garden settings.
