Good Qualities

Absolutely gorgeous color (4); Tall and sturdy stem; Good flower form; Very strong stem, straight in the tunnel, well filled inflorescence; All had fine fragrance, strong stems, and bloomed the entire summer from late July on, still blooming Oct 31 and cutting 2-3 times/week in late Oct., vase life 10 days or longer for me with no special treatment, needs to be grown with support net, Zone 6/7; Great fragrance; easy to grow; Multiple stems produced during flowering season.

Problems

Short spike and taper; In tunnel 16 days later than Light Lavender or Rocket, needs support in more windy environment, no basal branches in the tunnel; Staking necessary to guarantee good quality flower stem.

Postharvest

Use floral preservatives for optimum cut flower life

Comments

Bloomed later than other trial cultivars; Series performed well over the entire summer; Produces more basal branches outdoors: Support wire was necessary; Of all the cut flowers that we had in our trials, the snapdragons were the most well-received by our visitors, not only this cultivar, but snaps in general due to their fragrance, sturdy stems, and great colors.
