Description:
Bred to bloom earlier and longer, Speedy Sonnet™ Rose stacks sturdy, rose-pink spikes over a compact, upright frame. Expect a strong first flush in cool weather and a second bloom after cutting back—plus fragrance, deer resistance, and loads of classic snapdragon charm for beds, borders, and bouquets.
Care Tips:
Plant in full sun with average, well-drained soil. Keep evenly moist (don’t waterlog). Feed every two weeks during active growth for continuous color. Deadhead or shear lightly after the first wave to prompt rapid rebloom. Protect from sustained hard freezes.
Landscape Uses:
Cool-season color for garden beds, edging, and patio containers; excellent cut flower. Pairs beautifully with pansies, violas, dusty miller, and ornamental grasses for shoulder-season displays.
