Overview
Group 1 snapdragon best suited for cool-season production. Excellent quality stems and blooms in our early spring trials. Bred for performance under short days and low temperatures. Not recommended for summer-flowering production. Plants produce short thin stems under high-light summer temperatures and long-day conditions. Color is distinct from Avignon Apricot, which presents more yellow and cream in the blooms; whereas Antibes Apricot shows a stronger and more saturated peach color. Edible Flowers: The flowers are a colorful garnish for use in salads, desserts, and drinks. The flavor is floral and slightly bitter, so use sparingly.
Planting
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before desired bloom date at 65-70°F; transplant outdoors after hardening off. For spring blooms, sow in early winter. For fall blooms, sow in midsummer.
Growing
Sun: partial. Water: high. Soil: Well-draining, neutral to slightly alkaline. Space plants 12" apart. Germination: 7-14 days.
