Snapdragon Potomac – Antirrhinum Majus

This series has been specially bred to produce long sturdy stems as a cut flower and can reach a height of up to 90 cm .

About 30 seeds/pack. Be careful this seed is as small as dust. So be very careful when sowing. Do not cover snapdragon seeds, they need light to germinate.

Want the long stems of this snapdragon? Then sow them in an unheated conservatory / greenhouse in the fall and plant them out in the spring.

Days To Germinate

7-14 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C)

SOWING:

Transplant (recommended) – Surface-sow into 128-cell flats or preferred seedling container 8-10 weeks before planting out. Light is required for germination; cover just enough to hold seeds in place. Pinching is recommended if branching is desired. Light is required for germination, but a fine layer of vermiculite covering the seeds can maintain moisture levels and prevent algae growth. Bottom water or mist lightly to avoid covering the seed with displaced soil. Transplant to cell packs or larger containers when the first true leaves appear, approximately 3-4 weeks after sowing. If desired, for a bushier plant that produces more flower-producing side branches, pinch young plants back by half their height when plants have formed 4-6 leaves or are approximately 3-4 inches tall. Pinching will delay the crop time by a few weeks. If pinching, space plants 6-12 inches apart. Direct seeding is not recommended.
