Are snapdragons perennial flowers or annual?

I’m a bit confused about snapdragons. Are snapdragons perennial flowers or annual? I’ve seen mixed information online, so I’d like to understand how they grow and whether they come back every year.

Snapdragons are technically short-lived perennials, but they are most commonly grown as annuals. In USDA zones 7–10, they may survive the winter and bloom again. In colder climates, they die off in the frost, though they often "return" by dropping seeds that sprout the following spring.

Snapdragon are technically short-lived perennials, but they are often grown as annuals in many regions. In mild climates, they can survive winter and bloom again, while in colder areas they usually die after one season. Gardeners treat them as annuals for reliable color, although they may reseed and return the following year under suitable conditions.
