Description: Snapdragon Seeds.Mix of colors purple, white, and yellow. I grow these organically in my own garden. These are a beautiful addition to any garden. Fast growing and long producing with many flowers. They seed themselves so you should be able to save your own seed for the next season. They are commonly planted in butterfly gardens as a nectar source. Bees also love them and adding these to your garden will help with pollination of all your garden plants. Snapdragon, also known as: Dog's Mouth Lion's Mouth Toad's Mouth Snapdragons have stalks of brightly colored flowers that are especially profuse in cooler weather. The plants start blooming at the bottom of the stalk and work their way up. The common names all derive from the way the flowers resemble opening mouths, when they are pressed on their sides. The flowers are snapped shut and require more pressure to open than a honeybee can provide, so snapdragons rely on heavier bumble bees for their pollination. The Latin name, Antirrhinum, means "like a snout" and refers to the seed pod's resemblance to a calf's nose. Snapdragons are bushy plants with tall spikes of flower buds. Most are intensely colored and real standouts in the garden. The alternate, lanceolate leaves are arranged in a spiral around the stem. Snapdragons are tender perennials that are only hardy to about USDA Hardiness Zones 8 or 9. In most areas they are commonly grown as annuals. Even when they do over-winter, they never seem to bloom as robustly as they did in their first year, which leads many people to think they are biennial, but they should form seed pods in their first year. They usually reseed themselves. Snapdragons like a neutral soil pH, between 6.2 and 7.0. As short-lived plants, they are not heavy feeders, but adding organic matter will help keep them healthy and blooming. Snapdragons can be winter sown, meaning you can toss the seeds out in late fall or even on top of snow, and most will germinate in the spring. However snapdragons are most often started indoors, 8 - 10 weeks before the last frost date, grown from cuttings or purchased as seedlings. When starting from seed, simply press the seed on the surface of the potting soil. Snapdragon seeds need light to germinate. When seedlings have developed about 6 true leaves, pinch the top of the stem off, to encourage branching and a fuller plant. You can do this with purchased seedlings too. Transplant snapdragons outdoors a couple of weeks before your last frost date. Snapdragons can handle a light frost or two. Regular deadheading will keep your snapdragons blooming longer. They won't need much care early in spring, but mulching to keep the soil cool and moist can help them handle summer better. Positive feedback is greatly appreciated and needed!
