Snapdragon ‘Chantilly Light Salmon’
Antirrhinum majus
Description
No other snapdragon possesses so many desirable traits in one plant—beautiful warm colors, tall, strong stems, delicate ruffled blooms, and the loveliest citrus scent. These beautiful butterfly-like blooms resemble upturned petticoats on dancing ladies. Flowers at the base of the stem are a soft, glowing tangerine that transitions to apricot and melon-pink, giving it a beautiful ombré effect.
