Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The smallest in all its parts of the hardy perennial snapdragons we grow, leaves are significantly smaller than A. molle or A. sempervirens, the flowers somewhat smaller, with brighter red and yellow markings than the other species. Blooms in distinct flushes on and off through the summer rather than a constant dribble of flowers. Hardy for us so far, though it hasn't been in the garden for a really cold test winter. Zone 6, at least.
