If you love snapdragons but wish they had stronger stems, more branching, and an even longer bloom window—meet Snapstar™ Snapdragons. This newer variety has been bred specifically for compact, well-branched plants with excellent flower production, making it perfect for both cut flower growers and home gardeners looking for nonstop color.

 

What Makes Snapstar™ Special?

  • Strong, Upright Stems – Unlike some older varieties that can flop, Snapstar™ has sturdy, upright stems that make harvesting a breeze.
  • More Lateral Branching – Expect multiple stems per plant, meaning more flowers over a longer season. This makes it an excellent choice for succession planting and extending your harvest window.
  • Compact but Productive – While not as tall as traditional field snaps, Snapstar™ is ideal for high-density planting and produces a high yield of marketable stems.
  • Great for Containers – Because of its compact, bushy nature, it’s not just for flower farmers—this variety thrives in pots and raised beds too.
