1000 Candy Showers Snapdragon Seeds – Trailing Blooms for Hanging Baskets

Candy Showers Snapdragon is a distinctive trailing variety of snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) that produces cascading stems covered with colorful, snapdragon-type flowers. Unlike upright snapdragons, Candy Showers grows with a trailing habit, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers where its blooms can spill over the edges. The flowers appear in a mix of bright colors, adding long-lasting beauty to patios, porches, and garden beds.

This variety is prized for its unique growth habit and vibrant blooms. It attracts pollinators and provides vertical interest when grown in baskets or as a groundcover in borders. With 1000 seeds, you have plenty to create multiple baskets or plant a generous area in your garden.

Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or directly into hanging baskets after the danger of frost has passed.

For hanging baskets, use a well-draining potting mix and water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong the bloom season. Candy Showers Snapdragon prefers full sun but appreciates some afternoon shade in hot climates.
