Tried & tested by Sarah
Super productive variety
Easy to grow
A cheery and pretty mix of antirrhinums (or snapdragons) which excelled in our trials last summer, giving us endless buckets of flowers for a three month stretch
Antirrhinum flowers are edible and can be used to decorate puddings, cakes or party cocktails. They are not to everyone's taste as they are slightly bitter, but they're completely safe to eat.
