Description

The very pretty 2.5cm (1in) long snapdragons that will thrive in sun or shade. The "Climbing Snapdragon" comes in shades of red, pink, violet and blue, with speckled creamy lips. This attractive quick-growing half-hardy annual will twine itself around trellises, or creep down from pots. The pale green foliage gives a soft foil for the dainty flowers. Also useful for pots or hanging baskets, flowering from early summer to late winter if protected from frost. Grows to 120-180cm (4-6ft).

Sowing Instructions

Sow from early February to mid April in a good seed compost just covering the seed with a very thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Germination takes 14-21 days at 18-20C (65-70F). Don't exclude light, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful.
