Snapdragon Flowers Seeds ( Snowflake)

Antirrhinum majus maximum 'Snowflake' is a tall, elegant white snapdragon producing upright 36-inch spikes densely packed with 10–15 pure white, distinctly lipped blooms per stem. The blooms are positioned so closely together that each spike appears as a single, lengthy column of white — a striking and sophisticated presence in cutting gardens, white gardens, and cottage borders. And of course, the classic snap mechanism still delights — gently squeeze the sides of a flower and the jaw-like petals open; release, and they snap shut. Light frost tolerant and deer resistant.

Growing Guide

Starting indoors: Sow 6–8 weeks before transplanting. Surface-sow on pre-moistened quality starter mix and press seeds gently in — do not cover; seeds need light to germinate. Keep at 64–72°F; germination in 10–21 days. Harden off for 10–14 days before planting out. Pinch back at transplant time to encourage branching.

Mild-winter areas: Sow in a sheltered outdoor seedbed in late summer for winter and spring blooms.

Site & soil: Full sun; rich, moist, well-drained soil (pH 6.0–7.3). Space 12–18 inches apart. Add organic matter at planting. Tip back plants after the first bloom flush to encourage a second flush.

Ongoing care: In very hot climates, afternoon shade extends the bloom season. Remove spent spikes promptly to keep plants producing.
