If you love "snaps" you'll want to grow this dwarf variety of the old garden favorite. With a lovely combination of colors, it adds charm when planted with other low-growing annuals in flower beds and borders. The perfect size for containers, or even hanging baskets, and attract pollinators. The edible flowers with their unique shape make an interesting and pretty garnish on salads, desserts, and cold drinks. Snaps do best in cool weather. A good cut flower for your petite bouquet.

    I started these seeds a couple of weeks ago. They are very tiny so I just took a pinch from the packet and spread them into the cells. All the cells have sprouts. Germination rate is excellent. I can't wait to see them in the garden.

    This is my first purchase from botanical and it was such a good experience, the seeds germinated quickly and had almost 100% germination!

    Absolutely loved these flowers in the garden this year, I wish I had taken more photos because they were so lovely! I sowed them in late spring and with minimal attention they bloomed very quickly (zone 6a) Bought several more packets for my flower beds for next year!
