Snapdragon ‘Sherbet-toned Chantilly Mix’
Antirrhinum majus
Description
Mix includes ‘Chantilly Bronze’, ‘Chantilly Light Pink’, ‘Chantilly Pink’, and ‘Chantilly Light Salmon’
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. This snapdragon variety is the first to bloom and one of the most popular crops of early summer. These beautiful butterfly-like blooms also resemble upturned petticoats on dancing ladies. This cheery mix is a blend of soft warm colors, including light pink, coral, salmon, and apricot.
