Trial Started: 2005

Year of Trial: First (from 2005 report)

Antirrhinum 'Potomac Red Improved'

Good Qualities

Attractive dark red color (4); Strong stems; Long stems.

Problems

Very late to bloom- this could also be a good quality; Didn’t grow as strong as other snaps; kind of ‘spindly’ stems; Most fried – those that survived were unusable; Low productivity, did not recover after the hot weather of summer, short branches below the main flower head, similar to ‘Animation Velvet Red’.

Comments

General comments on trial (Zone 5, applied to all snaps varieties trialed): Trial grown outdoors on green plastic mulch (Solar mulch), trickle irrigation, 4 rows on a 9 x 9 inch spacing, one layer of Hortinova netting put up shortly after transplanting, season was hot most of the summer, but moderated into the fall, and did not frost until late October – during the summer heat, all varieties stopped producing flower heads, but the Group II varieties resumed production in mid-September, yielding about one third of their total production then.
