100 Pcs Dwarf Snapdragon Flower Seeds/ Montego Mix-Magic Carpet Seeds- Annual for sun-ANTIRRHINUM Majus Nanum-B362
Description:
Dwarf snapdragons are easy to grow from seed and are best grown in masses as bedding plants. The spikes are too short for cut flower arrangements. Flowers may be classic (having two puffed petals that look like stacked berets) or azalea-flowered (fringed or ruffled). The Snapdragon Dwarf Mix is a beautiful blend of colorful and vibrant dwarf flowers that are controlled, but act like as wildflowers! Dwarf snapdragon cultivars (_Antirrhinum majus_) grow 8 to 12 inches tall, significantly shorter than standard snapdragons, which grow 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 feet tall. With full sun and well-draining soil, these little perennials brighten up the landscape with colorful white, yellow, peach, pink, purple, red and bi-colored flowers. Antirrhinum is a genus of plants commonly known as dragon flowers or snapdragons because of the flowers' fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed. They are native to rocky areas of Europe, the United States, and North Africa.
