It was 25 degrees couple days ago, but plants are still green and 5

snap dragons are still hanging tough. Is that normal? btw, my
sister showed me why they have that name. Asked 3 or 4
other relatives, and none of them knew either till she showed them.



25 is pretty hot. I would have thought they would thrive on that
temp. They usually do well over 15 degrees in our garden. I find
they wilt once you reach 30 degrees or the middle of July heat.


I wonder if you two are talking about degrees C, degrees F or one of
each.......


D


I use the Cecilius system. Maybe the OP is using the F system. I don't
know anything about that system. Is 25 in the F system hot?

I thought 25 Cecilius was good for snap dragons.
