Sprinkle seeds on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and press them gently; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in a bright, cool location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Snapdragons are relatively low-maintenance and generally resistant to deer and rabbits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1000 Antirrhinum majus Oriental Lantern Snapdragon seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824640852278,"sku":"FOLIA2-852","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6760208679_hp86.jpg?v=1793003831","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1000-oriental-lantern-snapdragon-seeds-antirrhinum-majus-for-garden-cut-flowers","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
