Antirrhinum majus

Overview
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 Avignon 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.
