Purple Snapdragon Seeds - Dwarf Floral Showers Variety, 1000 Seeds for Planting

Purple Snapdragon Seeds of the Dwarf Floral Showers variety bring classic cottage-garden charm to borders, containers, and cutting gardens. Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus) are prized for their upright spikes of hooded, two-lipped flowers that open from the bottom upward, creating a long season of color. The Floral Showers group is a compact, dwarf type that stays tidy in beds and pots while still producing abundant bloom spikes.

These purple snapdragon seeds are a rewarding choice for gardeners who want vertical interest and a cottage-style look. The dense flower spikes attract pollinators and make excellent fresh-cut flowers. Dwarf snapdragons work well along the front of borders, in mixed planters, and in mass plantings where their compact habit and colorful spikes can be appreciated up close.

Planting & Care

Start snapdragon seeds indoors several weeks before the last frost, or sow directly in prepared beds once the soil has warmed. Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix, since snapdragons need light to germinate. Keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy, and maintain moderate warmth. Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Grow snapdragons in full sun for the strongest stems and most abundant bloom. Water regularly during dry spells, and pinch young plants to encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flower spikes to prolong blooming. In hot climates, some afternoon shade helps plants stay productive through summer.
