Snapdragon Seed - Snapdragon Orange Wonder Flower Seeds

Snapdragon (Antirrhinum Majus Maximum Orange Wonder ) - These orange-rose colored annuals will make your flower beds glow with color! Start the flower seeds and create a mass grouping for a stunning visual display. Snapdragons make an excellent long lasting cut flower, and this taller variety, reaching 36 inches in height is perfect for large flower arrangements. Hummingbirds love the flowers, and they will be delighted when you grow these lovely annuals. Snapdragon Orange Wonder will have your neighbors admiring your garden too!

The plants can tolerate a light frost, so they can be set out as early as the ground can be worked. For the earliest blooms, sow Snapdragon seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before setting the plants out. Use quality starter mix and sow the flower seeds on the surface of the pre-moistened mix and gently press the seed in. Harden off the seedlings for 10 - 14 days before planting outdoors. Pinch back at the time of transplanting to encourage branching. For areas with mild winters, sow the seeds outdoors in a sheltered seed bed in late summer. Transplant the young plants into their permanent location for blooms in winter and spring.

Snapdragons should be grown in rich, well-drained soil. Adding organic matter is very beneficial to the plants. Grow them in full sun, and space this tall variety 12 - 18 inches apart. Snapdragon care includes trimming the plants back after they are done blooming to promote a second flush of blooms. They perform best in cooler summer climates. In hot regions, provide the plants with some afternoon shade.
