  • Overview

    Group 1-2: Performs best under short days and low temperatures. Because Chantilly snapdragons are bred for short-day production, long-day growing conditions produce stems that are thin and weak. We do not recommend this variety for long-day production. Suitable for greenhouse or in the field. Bloom color is salmon/tangerine. 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 transplanting; sow seeds on moist seed-starting mix without covering (light-dependent germination). Transplant after hardening off in late summer/early fall for autumn flowering. Do not direct sow outdoors.

  • Growing

    Sun: partial. Water: high. Soil: Well-draining loam or potting soil, neutral to slightly acidic pH. Space plants 12" apart. Germination: 7-14 days.
