Good Qualities
Outstanding color (5); Sturdy stems (2); Had many comments!; Large heads; Nice appearance, customers liked it; Reasonable resistance to rust, good vase life; Color was very nice and haven’t grown a snapdragon that color.
Problems
For most of the season this cultivar was largely un-saleable, stems were very thin, flowers not full and robust, grew this alongside another “purple” cultivar (another seed company) – the other was same magenta color but very prolific with fat stems, good stand, full flowers, while the trial brand color paled by comparison; Stems per plant, the petals didn’t always open fully!; Dry and heat of summer made for long come-back after first cuttings; Stems sometimes broke during harvest foliage stripping; We did not net, stems were not as strong as ‘Spring Giants’ which is our standard snap we grow, could have harvested more stems but the stems were too bent, so it was quite productive; Color was nice BUT no way a “Purple”! Who names these colors anyway – get a color chart! More like a magenta, finally started to get nicer-looking late in the season with cool fall temps.
Similar Cultivars
Potomacs did MUCH better for me in the field – they were phenomenal!
Postharvest
Store cool and very upright (to avoid bending stems).

Comments
Late season cuts were fairly decent but stems still thin; Will grow again, such a beautiful deep color- it adds to the mix of snaps offered at the farmers markets, also got a second flush of darker stems in the fall; Didn’t grow well in our area, weather is too hot in the summer! They started really coming on in fall, when customers were limited; Good germination; I didn’t like the color- prefer dark red; If this is like the other ‘Animations’, it will be good and I’m sure customers will like it; Sowed in greenhouse 2/13/06, transplanted to 200 cell tray, harvested from 57 plants, harvest period 6/22-7/12.
