It's hard not to fall in love with this lovely variety of snapdragon at first sight. The long flower spikes come in beautiful yellow, orange, and apricot tones reminiscent of a sunset. The variety has double flowers that with their fluffy appearance resemble azaleas. Costa-Apricota is known for its long vase life and for producing abundant flowers throughout the season. When you pick a flower, the plant quickly produces new shoots, allowing you to create many bouquets all summer long.
In addition to being a popular cut flower, this variety is also incredibly decorative in borders and other types of plantings. It can be planted alone or used as a background plant, intertwined with other summer flowers.
This variety is also edible and can be used as a spice and garnish. Imagine an appetizer with asparagus and a cream made with some Swedish "Västerbotten cheese". Just before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of Costa-Apricota on top to give the dish that little extra touch. It's delicious to eat but also beautiful to look at!

Care and cultivation advice
Start seeds indoors in seed soil and make sure to moisten the soil before sowing. The seeds require light to germinate so simply place them on the surface of the soil and press down lightly. It is recommended to cover the seeds with transparent covering equipped with air holes, or to reYellowarly air out the container. Before germination, keep the seeds at around 20-25 degrees Celsius, and afterwards, in a cool and bright place.
A tip is to prune the plants after six pairs of leaves have formed or just before they are transplanted to their final location. Transplanting should occur after the plants have been properly hardened off and after the risk of frost has passed. Snapdragon thrives best in a sunny location with nutrient-rich and well-drained soil.
ReYellowarly remove spent blooms for a longer and more abundant flowering. Frequent picking of the beautiful flower spikes helps encourage the growth of new flower-bearing shoots. So the more flowers you pick, the more you'll get - wonderful, isn't it?
