Snapdragon Costa Silver
Antirrhinum majus / Snapdragon
Snapdragon 'Costa Silver' is a premium pale blush-pink Group 2 cut-flower snapdragon for cool to moderate growing windows.

Its strength is the combination of a soft antique color, reliable vertical form, strong stems, and usefulness in seasons when many warm-season cuts are not yet available. Its main management needs are correct timing, cool temperatures, support, airflow, disease prevention, and upright cold postharvest handling.
