Good Qualities

Good strong yellow (3); Almost a bi-color with the darker centers; Very uniform; Flower form is very full, almost too blunt in shape, but it is still quite pretty; Strong stems with small leaves, easy to strip foliage; Long sturdy stems, easy color to work with; 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; Especially liked for the lemon yellow color that brought sparkle to mixed bouquets and went especially well with a new yellow Karma dahlia.

Problems

Faded; We got these very late in very hot weather and stem length was a consistent problem, all bloomed about the same time – early, these need to be planted quite a bit closer together than our equipment allows; Short spike, short plant; Individual snaps were tightly spaced and congregated at top 4-6 inches of stem, giving the ‘spike’ somewhat of a global appearance.

Comments

Similar to Rocket Snaps; I did not see any characteristics of any of these that would make them superior to the Potomac series; While this one has a nice color and strong stems, it does not have the length of floral spike as the Rockets; Series performed well over the entire summer.
