Description
Antirrhinum majus
Often referred to as azalea snapdragons, these double petal beauties are a rare and special treat. Their tight shape is difficult to pollinate by insects so blooms last longer than other single flowered types in the vase. This stunning, ultra ruffled mix includes ivory, cherry, pink, yellow, bronze and peach flowers.
