Comments
I liked the ‘Animation’ series better; Not the usual snapdragon type of floret but usable. Will try again with an April planting; The florists I sell to either really liked this open snap or they didn’t like it at all. This was the only thing that made it questionable to grow again; Would probably make for a good early snapdragon; Cold wind damage occurred during hardening off process before planting in field (purple leaves); Important to pinch terminal bud early; I am not growing snaps after this year. Too short to compete with greenhouse and too low a price to florists ($3.50/bu); I used them a lot in bouquets, but my customers passed them by when they made theirs.
