Apple Blossom Snapdragon seeds
Apple Blossom Snapdragons make an eye-catching addition to any garden or yard. Each plant can get up to 40"- 60" and is loaded with fluffy, dainty snapdragon blossoms. The name comes from the blossoms having the same color palate as apple blossoms. The top and bottom of the "mouth" of the dragon are white to soft pink, the center will be a richer peak, and you will see yellow start to prevail from the lower blooms up to the top. As the lower blooms fall off and the top blooms finish opening, you will see the yellow on the top. You will see the different colors and growth patterns in the images on this listing.
The blooms are extremely soft like satin. They are strong attractors of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. As kids, we always picked a blossom and squeezed both sides of the middle so the dragon's "mouth" would open up. Although these are annuals, they will reseed and come back each year as a perennial would. These are also great for fresh-cut flower arrangements or for garnish as the blossoms are edible as well. The flavor is described as a little bitter, but very floral.
