Description
2-3 foot spires sporting sunset hues of tangerine, peach, and fuchsia will transport your mind to a beach paradise faraway. Aptly named, our whole farm crew constantly marvels that this variety is open-pollinated (OP). There are innumerable hybrid snapdragons with eye-popping color combos, but after two years of trials, Orange Wonder Snapdragon feels like a true diamond in the rough of OP snapdragonland. Bees, butterflies, cut flower growers and anyone else with a pulse (except deer!) will adore this wonder child.
