I have just a mix of seed snapdragon from the rocket series. I love them tall. This dark red had the hottest almost cinnamoney smell. You could almost feel heat on your nose when you sniffed in close. I had a smell everyday, and will look for a dark red rocket seed. ( I google right after and found cinnamon scent dark red rocket seed soooo easily!)

Rich and lovely color, but the smell is intoxicating. Cinnamon. And it swell known. I google red rocker snapdragon, and there it is, cinnamon scented red. I'm gonna only do this color next year, I'm so impressed.

Thank you Delonix. I love snapdragon as well, and this particular one really impressed me this year, with this smell!

Perfect spot. You almost feel a heat to your skin, like there is cinnamon oil on the petals when you get close. Just wonderful.
