No success with these seeds. Nothing at all!! What a shame! Why don't you sell them in buckets? It would be easier for me. Thank you.

Description

Antirrhinum majus 'Royal Bride' is a wonderfully scented variety that features majestic flower spikes of the purest white, set against deep green leaves. The long, sturdy stems are perfect for cutting! Snapdragons are annuals or short-lived perennials depending on the climate and soil. These easy-going, prolific bloomers self-seed in the most unlikely of places. Grow in well-prepared, free-draining soil in full sun.

Antirrhinum majus, commonly referred to as Snapdragon, has been grown in gardens since the 16th century. It belongs to the Scrofulariaceae family and is native to the west of the Mediterranean basin where it grows between rocks and on dry slopes. It is often found growing in between cracks in old garden walls. 'Royal Bride' is large variety that forms 65 cm tall and 35 cm wide clumps. The erect stems are covered with opposite or alternate linear to lanceolate leaves, deep green in colour. From May-June to September-October (or the first frosts), dense, sturdy flower spikes emerge. The large, tubular flowers are pure white and intensely fragrant. Snapdragons are a magnet to bees and butterflies. They self-seed easily in light soil, however they are not always true to type.

Snapdragons are easy to grow, perfect for naturalistic gardens, scented gardens, and cottage gardens. They are generally treated as annuals in heavy soil and colder climates. Large varieties such as 'Royal Brides' are perfect for growing in borders, flower beds and rock gardens. They are also ideal for cutting! This variety combines well with Love-in-a-mist, Cosmos or annual poppies. Snapdragons’ colourful flower spikes look particularly attractive amongst bushy perennials (fennel, ox-eye daisies, cardoons, asters, perennial chrysanthemums) or small, neutral-coloured shrubs (lavender, santolina, mugwort, euphorbia, Thymus hirsutus) ... Once the plants are well established, we recommend removing spent flowers regularly to extend the blooming period.

Snapdragon seeds are best left to experienced, seasoned gardeners as they are extremely small, like fine dust.

Planting and care

Sow from January to March on the surface of light, well-drained sowing mix (without covering the seeds). Place in a propagator or polythene bag and keep in a light room at a temperature of 20-25°C until germination (generally 10 to 21 days). Make sure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. When the seedlings are strong enough to handle, transplant them into pots. Harden them off gradually for a few weeks. When all risk of frost is over, plant them out in a sunny location, leaving 25-30 cm between each plant.

Snapdragons thrive in fertile, well-drained, loose soil, in full sun. They are not very cold hardy (down to -7°C) and are often grown as annuals or biennials. However, it is not uncommon to see snapdragon plants surviving for several years if winters are not too harsh. However, this makes them more vulnerable to rust. To keep your plants from year to year, make sure to provide them with excellent drainage and bury them under a thick layer of dry leaves or grass clippings to protect them from harsh frosts. They will reappear the following spring and flower earlier.
