Description
Antirrhinum majus
No other snapdragon possesses so many desirable traits in one plant: beautiful warm colors, tall strong stems, delicate ruffled blooms and the loveliest citrus scent. This snapdragon variety is the first to bloom and consistently is our most requested crop of early summer. These beautiful butterfly-like blooms also resemble upturned petticoats on dancing ladies. This cheery mix is a blend of soft warm colors, including light pink, coral, salmon and apricot.
