The Avignon series (also known as Costa) are Group II antirrhinums which are best suited for growing in the cooler part of the season. They are the perfect choice for spring or autumn production, though they will also perfom well through the summer months in cooler climates. Avignon Silver is the perfect shade of palest blush - perfect for those early summer weddings!

Sow Feb-May or Aug-Sept to overwinter for flowers the following year. Sowing temp 21-24°C. Do not cover as light aids germination which takes 7-21 days in optimum conditions. Seed to transplant could take  8-12 weeks. Can be pinched, or plant at a closer spacing for single stem blooms. 

Cut when 30-50% of the blooms on the spike have opened. Place immediately into water in a cool position. Make sure that stems remain upright otherwise they will bend towards the light.

Vase life: 7-10 days
