Antirrhinum majus 'Chantilly White' F1
- Good for Cutting
- Loved by Garden Birds

- Scented
- Self-sows
A hugely prolific and long-flowering pure white Antirrhinum of the Chantilly type
This has open flowers, without the usual Snapdragon double lip, easy and super-reliable and hardier than other Antirrhinum types, surviving the winter outside with us in Sussex. The Chantillys also have a delicious scent and excellent vase life.
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.
