It’s a brand-new look for merry Snaps! ‘Twinny Violet’ blends bright crimson and magenta into large “butterfly” (double) blooms that jostle one another for space on compact dwarf plants. Standing tough despite harsh spring or fall weather, this bedding plant is just right for containers as well as the sunny bed.
The ‘Twinny’ series is the first Snap to offer double-flowered blooms on a dwarf habit! And you’ll be able to enjoy them up close, because the stems are ideal for cutting, and you get so many blooms you’ll have plenty for the garden, too. Combine ‘Twinny Violet’ with other luscious colors in the series — Bronze Shades, Yellow Shades, White, and AAS-winning Peach. There’s even a mix of all 5!
Just 12 inches high and up to 8 inches wide, ‘Twinny Violet’ is nicely compact, and it makes the most of its smaller space. The flowers continue over a long season, and the plant is equally suited for spring or fall, being quite weather-resistant. This is the Snap to grow in that “risky” spot where others may have failed. Given sunshine and well-drained soil, it’s prepared to grow vigorously and flower freely.
Sow the seed indoors about 10 to 12 weeks before you want flowers. ‘Twinny Violet’ needs cool conditions to flourish, and may even be a winter crop in hot climates. A lovely overplanting for Pansies, too! Pkt is 100 seeds.
