Perennial evergreen snapdragon, with small gray-green leaves and soft pink/yellow two-tone flowers. Our first-year plants started blooming by mid-June, from seed started in February. They established nicely, stayed green through a winter with moderate overnight freezes, and bloomed again by early May of their second year.
