Avignon Ivory II

Flower

Antirrhinum majus

Overview
White florets with a subtle touch of yellow. Robust stems, high-quality blooms, and uniform growth in the field or greenhouse. Group 2 snapdragon bred for performance under short days and low temperatures. We've found the Avignon series to be more adaptable than most Group 2 snapdragons, in that the plants produce strong stems and high-quality blooms even under slightly warmer and longer days than would be ideal for a Group 2 series. Avignon performs well in our spring and fall trials both in the field and tunnel, and overwintered (fall-planted inside an unheated tunnel for early spring flowering). Flower quality and stem quality are reduced under long days and high temperatures. 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 last frost, sow on soil surface or barely cover (light-dependent germination), transplant after last frost. Fall planting also recommended for spring blooming in tunnels.
Growing
Sun: partial. Water: high. Soil: Well-draining loam or potting soil, moderate fertility. Space plants 12" apart. Germination: 7-10 days.
