Snapdragon Tall Maximum
No garden should be without tall snapdragons. The beauty of this blend will add charm to your garden and your cut flower arrangements. A bee magnet, bumblebees climb into the "mouths" and sometimes are completely hidden! Breathtaking when planted in mass. The edible flowers with their unique shape make an interesting and pretty garnish on salads, desserts, and cold drinks. Late afternoon shade is beneficial in hot summer areas.
