FLOWER-SNAPDRAGON GIANT MIX have been a garden favorite since the 1700s. Originating in the Mediterranean region, this flower gets its name from its unusual blossoms that look like a dragon’s head. They are a particular favorite of children who like to pinch the blossoms & make the dragon mouth open & close. Their large, blossom-laden flower heads are faintly fragrant & come in a wide assortment of bright colors. The vertical flower spikes open gradually from the bottom to the top.  A single snapdragon plant may produce seven or eight blossom spikes in the course of a summer. Height 50 – 75cm (20 – 30”)

To sow, keep seeds in the fridge for 2 days before planting, then lightly press fine seeds into soil & pat down lightly. When plants reach 5-7.5cm high, transplant them 25-30cm apart. Since plants that develop buds most likely will not survive to transplant, be sure to plant them out before they reach that point. They prefer full sun & well-drained soil, though they can tolerate partial shade. Pinch back after bloom to encourage a second flush.

More About Us

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.

We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.

We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.

Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
