Snapdragon, “Night and Day” Seeds

Antirrhinum majus

Category: Tag:

‘Night and Day’ is a spicy scented, visually striking cousin of the ‘Black Prince’ snapdragon. This bumblebee favorite is long blooming and makes absolutely gorgeous cut flowers! We love how it looks next to bunny tails grass in a container. When the weather cools in fall, its dark red petals turn nearly black and its foliage turns dark burgundy, enhancing the contrast with its lower white jaws. The edible flowers with their unique shape make an interesting and pretty garnish on salads, desserts, and cold drinks.

100 mg packet contains ~560 seeds.
