Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus nanum Oriental Lanterns) - Unique deep red and golden yellow bi-colour flowers with deep green rust resistant foliage. Ideally grown in containers and as a bedding plant. A vibrant contrast of buttery yellow and candy-apple red make this a sizzling addition to beds, borders and container gardens. Plants reach just 12 inches tall and make a lovely bed design feature or short cut flower.
Snapdragons make an excellent long lasting cut flower, and this shorter variety only reaching 12 inches in height is perfect for flower arrangements. Hummingbirds love the flowers, and they will be delighted when you grow these lovely annuals. Oriental Lanterns 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 6 - 12 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.
