Our neighbor French Farms tried this variety at his farm last season and we all fell in love with it. Snapdragons are some of the few cut flower varieties that are actually grown commercially in South Florida, but we hadn't messed with them much until recently. They take a long time to grow and prefer a lengthening day (so planting after December 21st) but they are so beautiful and productive that they are clearly worth the wait. Like many other cut flowers your snapdragons with produce more bushy plants with more blooms if you "pinch" them when young. To do this, cut about 1/2 of the growth off of the plant once you take it home and transplant it. This might seem crazy since itll make the plant smaller and you might be afraid of hurting it, but many plants do better when they are "pinched", including celosias, zinnias, peppers, and hibiscus varieties like roselle. Also, snapdragons are edible!

Plant Care
Plant Care
When your plant delivery arrives, make sure you water your new plants thoroughly with a light spray of water (none of this thumb over the hose stuff). We recommend planting them within 10 days of receiving them. If you do intent to wait to plant them, we recommend placing them in a shallow reservoir (like a baking pan) and filling it with half an inch of water so they can drink the water from below while you are at work and place them in an area with plenty of sun. When planting in your garden always add a dash of Organic granular fertilizer, and give them extra water during their first week in their new home, while they adjust. We recommend disturbing the root ball as little as possible during planting.
