Comments
The florists I sell to either really liked this open snap or they didn’t like it at all. This was the only thing that made it questionable to grow again; A different type of snap floret, more open but usable; Liked the look – different from other snaps; Cold wind damage occurred during hardening off process before planting in field (purple leaves). – No damage to ‘Rocket’ snapdragons; This snap was short and spindly, but at least it fought its way thru the rain; Much stronger than Ivory. – We missed the ‘snap’ in the dragon; I used them a lot in bouquets, but my customers passed them by when they made theirs.
