Snapdragon Giant Mix/ Bocca di Leone (307-1)
Snapdragon Giant Mix/ Bocca di Leone (307-1)
We call this cheerful garden flower Snapdragon, the Italians call it "Mouth of the Lion." It is a favorite of children, who love to pinch the flowers to make them open. This tall variety also makes a great cut flower. The mix contains bright and pastel colors.
Snapdragons can be planted in fall in southern or mild winter areas. In cold winter areas, start them indoors in late winter and plant out in early spring.
Our pack is 2 grams, about 7,000 seeds.

I had sincere doubts when transplanting my anemic little seedlings into the ground in the midst of our extra-cold and miserable PNW spring, but all of my snapdragons plants rallied to produce an abundance of blooms starting in June and going strong in September, with many more buds still forming. They are very popular with the sweat bees -- it's such fun watching them disappear into the lion's mouth. Love the variety of color in this selection.
