HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in late fall or early spring, just below the surface of the soil. To start indoors, sow the Northern Lights Snapdragon seed 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Transplant the seedlings as soon as they can safely be handled.

Growing: Water seedlings and control weeds until they become established; mature plants also flourish with occasional watering. The blooming of these plants decreases with the heat of summer; cut back the foliage after blooming has ended, unless the Linaria Maroccana seeds are being harvested. This plant self-sows in good conditions. It also makes an excellent container or border plant, and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.

Harvesting: These blooms make excellent cut flowers. Choose stalks with flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the foliage that will fall below the surface of the water.

Seed Saving: After blooming, this plant will produce seed heads that eventually release their seeds. Watch the heads carefully and gather the seed as soon as it has ripened. Store in a cool, dry place.

Excellent!

Everwilde is my first choice for bulk seeds. I only shop elsewhere if I can't find what I need at Everwilde -- but I can usually find what I need here. Thanks for a fantastic company and great service! My favorite seed company!

Beautiful little flowers

I grew these last year and will grow them again this year! They are beautiful little flowers in many colors that are easy to grow, and are the perfect size for pressing and using on candles and cards. Love these flowers!

DESCRIPTION

This exquisite annual will transform a meadow into a shimmering sea of color. Also popular for containers, this mix includes white, rose, lilac, yellow, orange, and crimson flowers. Every flower garden needs a few Snapdragons!
These bright Northern Lights Snapdragon flowers originally come from Morocco. The common names of Toadflax and Baby Snapdragon come from the unusual appearance of the blooms. Though similar types are common in the wild, this hybridized species won the prestigious AAS Award in 1934 and quickly became established as an easily grown garden favorite. The genus name Linaria means "flax-like," referring to the similarity of the plant's growth to that of flax.

HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in late fall or early spring, just below the surface of the soil. To start indoors, sow the Northern Lights Snapdragon seed 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Transplant the seedlings as soon as they can safely be handled.

Growing: Water seedlings and control weeds until they become established; mature plants also flourish with occasional watering.
