How to Grow
Select a sunny to partially shaded site outdoors and sow seed 3 mm deep from late April through May. Thin or transplant seedlings to 20 cm apart when they are 5 cm tall. For June & July flowers, start seed indoors in a soil-less mix in mid-March leaving the seed uncovered on the growing medium. Germination will occur in 14 days at 21° C. Grow-on under lights at 15° C before hardening off then moving them outside in late May. Our snapdragons are heat and disease resistant.
