Tried & tested by Sarah
Super productive variety
Easy to grow
Soft, curvy, full and flowery, a series of cheer-leader pompoms on a stem. Only a few and you’ve filled a vase.
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.
