Good Qualities
Clear, clean white flowers (3); Tall (3); Thick stemmed snapdragon - Great in mixed bouquets - Good floret spacing - Attractive flower; Easy, vigorous plant., lustrous dark green foliage - Thick flowers; Held well in vase - Did about as well as 'Rockets'; Kept blooming all summer; Strong, firm stems, full heads.
Problems
Did well in a difficult year; My market for white flowers is not strong; Bottom florets turned brown before top was fully extended.
Comments
Similar to 'Rocket'; Pinched 1/2 of planting - Pinched plants did not size up well; Plants did well even in drought conditions, kept producing late into season.
