Beautiful dark red foliage and blooms. Easy to grow and very hardy--will sometimes survive New England winters.

My Black Prince returned for me their second season here in zone 5, and also reseeded like crazy. The original plants were quite sturdy and did well. Most of the seedlings retained their original color; but I had some with variations of red--several lovely dark coral-red shades. The foliage on all seedlings was the same nice dark color.

Black Prince Snapdragons are beautiful plants. This is my second year wintersowing them successfully. Several of my first year ones overwintered well. Dark green to bronzy foliage and dark burgundy blossoms which look like velvet, providing nice contrast in garden beds.
