Antirrhinum majus

Miniature, bushy, ball shaped plants to 20 cm (8") tall are just covered in a mass of flowers. Ideal for rock gardens and borders. An exciting blend of reds, pinks, yellows and whites! Performs best in cooler weather. May languish during very hot, humid summer weather then rebound when temperatures moderate. This tender perennial is hardy to Zone 7 so it is grown as an annual in most of Canada.

How to Grow

Select a sunny to partially shaded site outdoors and sow seed 3 mm (1/8") deep from late April through May. Thin or transplant seedlings to 20 cm (8") apart when they are 5 cm (2") 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 (70 F). Grow-on under lights at 15 C (60 F) before hardening off then moving them outside in late May. Our snapdragons are heat and disease resistant.
