Good Qualities
Nice pure white color (4); Good flower structure, blooming was uniform on each stem; Strong spikes; Long vase life, sturdy stems; Pretty blooms, good fragrance.
Problems
Cuts made after the first were often too short for use (not counted); ‘Calima Pure White’ looked very promising at first – however, as the plants were beginning to elongate they were hit severely by rust and as a result stem length and quantity suffered, they were definitely more susceptible to rust than the Rocket series and the other trial varieties from the Opus and Calima series that we grew side by side this season; Flowered about 2 weeks later than ‘Opus Pure White’; None especially, first flush great, but not long lasting; Poor germination and seedling survival, only 3 plants transplanted to field, stems needed to be netted, wind caused too much bending; white flowers don’t seem to be very popular in our market, stems were rather short, axillary growth wasn’t great; Not all buds on stems are open.

Comments
First cut produced many bent stems, following cuts were straighter, though less productive in number, plants were very compact and had no issue with stems falling; On the shorter side, perhaps planted too late by me; Retail florists said California snaps are available for very cheap prices, but they liked out higher quality product – they would buy ours if they needed them, we had only about 70 snapdragon plants total so we planted them in one row, this might have contributed to the short stems, we’ll try bigger numbers-in a bed next year; Flower head 2 cm; As with previous years, I continue to try to grow snapdragons – in the cultivar trial I planted the test varieties on either side of my rocket snaps, all three cultivars grew similarly and did not produce any marketable stems, however, near the end of the season both ‘Deep Rose’ and ‘Pure White’ had some florets open on stunted stems and the colors were outstanding – I would expect that both cultivars based on the clearness of the color would be a nice addition to the specialty cut flower growers snap collection.
