I bought this crimson snapdragon as a "temporary filler" for my planter in, I think, May.

Here it is, some kinda temporary, stlll in November. Chilterns has seeds of a snap they claim acts very perennial. Now I think I'll send for it.

Where did you buy seeds for these? I saw them this fall in a btanical garden and litterally fell in love with that burgandy cultivar.

Actually I bought these as plants (just two) at Rainforest nurseries --they were packaged in Valleybrook (Heritage perennial) blue pots. Aimer's seeds used to carry what I THINK is the same thing; but I'm going to send for seed from Chilterns in England. http://www.edirectory.co.uk/chilternseeds/pages/default.asp?mt=Category&senc=CBBXBIEAGXBI

going to send for Sawyer's Mix, Apple Blossom and Crimson Velvet.

I have had very good success with this company.
