Antirrhinum 'Supreme Golden Yellow'
Trial: Annual
Year Trialed: 2004
Year of Trial: First (from 2004 report)
Good Qualities:
Intense yellow, very hard, fat stem; After I stopped picking it, it continued to grow and bloomed again in Sept./Oct.
Problems:
We got these very late in very hot weather and stem length was a consistent problem, all bloomed about the same time - early, these need to be planted quite a bit closer together than our equipment allows; An unexpected freeze killed the seedlings shortly after transplanting (Zone 5).

Comments:
I did not see any characteristics of any of these that would make them superior to the Potomac series.
