Antirrhinum majus 'Bizarre Hybrids' - Snapdragon 'Bizarre Hybrids'

PLEASE NOTE: Since plants are often sourced from the garden to order, sizes do vary a little, depending on how they come out of the ground, but I always endeavour to give a little more rather than less! They are sometimes shipped bare-rooted, but will approximate the size specified (e.g. a 9cm pot).

Although a perennial, antirrhinums are usually treated as annuals. This variety has unusual, marbled flowers in a variety of colours - usually a mixture of yellows and reds. Snapdragons are a children's favourite! Since other antirrhinums are grown in the garden, I cannot absolutely guarantee that these seeds (or plants, when offered) will all breed true, but my own experience has been that all develop characteristic marbling or mottling to a greater or lesser degree.

Sowing and/or growing instructions

Antirrhinums need light to germinate. Sow in Spring or autumn, covering with a very thin layer of soil or compost. Transfer seedlings to pots or modules and grow on until large enough to plant out, 6-10in/15-25-mm apart. Germination time 7-14 days.
