  • 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 pink. 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 8-10 weeks before target bloom date. Sow on moist seed-starting mix without covering (seeds need light). Keep at 65-70°F. Transplant seedlings after developing 2-3 true leaves; harden off 7-10 days before moving to growing space.

  • Growing

    Sun: partial. Water: high. Soil: Well-draining loam or soil mix rich in organic matter. Space plants 12" apart. Germination: 10-14 days.
