(120 days) F-1 hybrid always very popular with commercial growers. Perennial to Zone 7, grown as an annual, and occasionally overwinters even in central Maine. Its long stems and vibrant colors: pink, red, yellow, orange, white and orchid on 2–3' plants make Rocket the standard snapdragon for cutting. For cuts, harvest when more than half the flowers are open. Will last 5–8 days. Withstands light fall frosts. Sow indoors at 65–75°. Do not cover the seeds. Grow on at 60°; warmer temperatures cause leggy transplants. Set out after danger of frost, spacing at 9–12". About 5,000 seeds/g. ⑤
