Flower Snapdragon Avignon Apricot II represents a premier choice for commercial and dedicated home growers seeking reliable cool-season performance with exceptional visual appeal. This non-GMO Group 2 hybrid, previously known as Costa Apricot II, features vibrant apricot-toned florets on remarkably robust stems reaching 28–36 inches, delivering consistent high yields and uniform growth in both field and greenhouse environments. Avignon Apricot II excels under short-day, low-temperature conditions—the hallmark of energy-efficient Group 2 varieties—while uniquely maintaining stem strength and bloom quality in moderately warmer, longer-day settings. This adaptive capacity makes it invaluable for spring and fall production cycles, as well as winter cultivation in mild climates or controlled environments. The variety's popularity stems from its dependable performance, efficient growth cycle, and superior stem quality that translates directly to premium cut flower production. Expect consistent blooms within approximately 100 days, supported by a reliable 70% germination rate. Beyond traditional arrangements, the vividly colored apricot florets serve as sophisticated edible garnishes, contributing delicate floral notes with subtle bitterness to gourmet salads, desserts, and specialty beverages—use sparingly for optimal flavor balance. Our non-GMO seeds arrive in sustainable, recyclable packaging supporting environmentally conscious growing practices. An essential selection for growers prioritizing year-round production flexibility, superior stem quality, and distinctive warm-toned color palettes.
