Overview
Bloom color is a little richer and deeper (not as pale) as Costa Silver but still lighter than Potomac Pink Improved or Costa Light Rose II. Group 2, cool-season snapdragon, bred for performance under short days, low light, and low-temperature conditions. Not recommended for summer production. Plants produce short, thin stems under high light, summer temperatures, and long-day conditions. Pair with other Group 1 and 2 snapdragons such as the Costa II and Maryland series.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.
