(Antirrhinum majus) Often a moment of quiet is exactly what’s needed. At least that’s how we feel! Our small patch of Royal Bride offered a bit of breath during often hectic days. Sweetly fragrant at 3’ tall, the blooms are white with a slight cream center, really long blooming and often abuzz with pollinators. A wonderful cutting flower and garden bloomer from June through September.
Annual. Perennial in zones 8-10, and will self seed
95-110 Days. UO

Packet: 100 seeds
