Growing Non-GMO Floral Showers Series Snapdragon Flower Seeds

Snapdragon seeds can benefit from a cold period, called stratification, to germinate, so the seeds must be exposed to cool temperatures for a while before planting. Freeze seeds for 48 hours or refrigerate for 7-10 days before sowing. Plant indoors 6-10 weeks before the final frost date. Do not cover Floral Showers Series seeds fully during germination, a little light will help seeds germinate in less than 2 weeks. Transplant once there are at least two true sets of leaves into a sunny indoor or outdoor spot. In warm climates, sow in the late summer for fall, winter, and spring blooms.

Floral Showers Series snapdragons are one of the more versatile varieties of snapdragon and are hardy, vigorous growers in cool, moderate summers with no serious threat from pests or disease. When starting indoors, place them beneath fluorescent grow lights for 16 hours per day, with 8 hours of darkness. Avoid overhead irrigations to minimize wetting foliage. They will easily produce a plethora of blooms throughout the season, but may decline in the heat of the summer.

When transplanting seedlings indoors to outdoors, it is necessary to acclimatize them slowly to their new environment; Put them outside for a few hours a day and gradually increase the duration until they are hardy enough to transplant. It is important to deadhead the flowers regularly and provide the plants with proper water and nutrients to promote healthy growth and numerous blooms. A little extra care will go a long way with these friendly dragons!

About Floral Showers Series Snapdragon Garden Seeds

Antirrhinum majus is known for its fragrant and unique blooms. They easily attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees. Nevertheless, they are known to be deer resistant.

To obtain a bushier habit, pinch off the top three inches of the young plants before they bloom. Deadheading throughout the season keeps them looking brilliant. If flowering declines after the first flush, cut back by a third and fertilize with an balanced fertilizer.

Snapdragon earned its name because of the reaction the stalks have when harvesting blooms, which causes the "mouth" of the flower to open like a dragon and then snap closed.

Antirrhinum majus is native to the cool and temperate Mediterranean including regions of Morocco, Portugal, southern France, and east into Turkey and Syria. It is now found throughout the world in cultivated gardens.
