The Toulon series (similar to the Potomac series) are Group IV-V antirrhinums which are best suited for growing in higher temperatures and under higher light intensity. They are the perfect choice for summer and early autumn production. The soft lavender-pink tone of Toulon Lavender is Cel's favourite colour of snapdragon!
