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 light yellow; despite the name, the color is not really cream but a cheery and bright light yellow. 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 under controlled light 10-12 weeks before target flowering date; maintain 65-70°F for germination; do not cover seeds completely
