Customer Reviews
I had to write about this amazing snapdragon. I planted one in 2020 that continued to overwinter, bloom, and provide bouquets for FIVE YEARS! It died this Spring (2025) after filling more vases for us (see pics of it's decline). It is a more apricot and pink as it ages in the vase. It only looks white and pink like the pic when it is just starting to flower (for me). This is my favorite ever snap. I had a low germination rate on my 2020 envelope but 3 seeds came up in the greenhouse and they are doing ok ~we'll see if they make it thru the winter. Very sad you're sold out right now as i'm out of seeds and can't imagine not having this one <3
Zero germination. I can’t believe all of us planted these wrong. I’m not a novice and the other raters are probably experienced too
So sorry to hear that! While we understand it may seem like this variety has mostly negative reviews, the reality is that we sell a large number of these seeds each year, and many of our customers have successfully grown them. Unfortunately, satisfied growers don’t always leave reviews, so their positive experiences may not be reflected online just yet.

These seeds did not germinate. I ordered three different colors, none sprouted. I followed the instructions to the T. Waste of $$.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with our snapdragon seeds—thanks for reaching out! Snapdragon seeds can be a bit tricky to get started. Here are a few tips that might help:
They need at least 12 hours of light per day to germinate. Be sure to press them gently into the soil surface. Keeping them moist is key! A very light layer of vermiculite can help retain moisture while still allowing enough light through for germination.
We do germ test all of our seeds and to ensure we sell only top performing crops. Our minimum germination standard for flowers is 55% and the most recent test for this variety passed at 94%.

The pictures that is advertised looks great I purchased both colors two different purchases and seeded as directed for my zone but not one seed sprouted have to say never 👎 again
Also seed packets didn’t come with 50 seeds maybe 10-12 seeds the most in both verities.
So sorry to hear that. Snapdragon seeds need at least 12 hours of light per day to germinate. Press into the medium but do not cover and keep moist. Note: a very light covering of vermiculite will allow adequate light to the seed and keep it uniformly moist. We do germ test all of our seeds and to ensure we sell only top performing crops.

Germination Codes
Given at the end of each description to give you specific information.
(1) Germination occurs between 70-85°F and within 6-15 days. Sow indoors and cover lightly.
(2) Needs a period of pre-chilling. Mix seeds with moistened peat moss and place in plastic bag. Seal and place bag in an area where the temperature is around 60°F for 2-3 days. Then place in the refrigerator for 30-90 days. After pre-chilling, place seed on sterile seedling mix and cover lightly. Germination may take up to 30 days.
(3) Needs darkness to germinate. Remove cover as soon as germination occurs.
(4) Direct sow in the garden as soon as the soil warms to at least 55°F.
(5) Germination may be slow and erratic. A fluctuating temperature of 75°F during the day and 50°F at night may help.
(6) Needs at least 12 hours of light per day to germinate. Press into the medium but do not cover. Keep moist.
Note: For those varieties that indicate a (1) or (6), a very light covering of vermiculite will allow adequate light to the seed and keep it uniformly moist.
Culture
• As a general rule, flowers can be sown when soil has warmed to at least 55°F
• Apply 1-2 cups of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet, and 1 inch of compost
• If you prefer to soak your seeds: soak in 85°F water for 1-3 hours and plant immediately — longer soaking times are often detrimental; seeds need air to live
Direct Sowing
• Seeds should be buried 2 times their narrowest dimension and covered with finely raked soil or vermiculite unless otherwise noted
• Some varieties can take over a month to germinate so mark your rows, keep them moist, and for larger seeds like sunflowers, use bird netting
Transplanting
• Sow 5-6 weeks prior to anticipated transplant date
• If seeds need darkness, cover with 2 sheets of newspaper or plastic, remove upon the first signs of germination
• We recommend feeding your seedlings Age Old Grow, diluted to 1/4 strength
Insects & Disease
• Early watering and good weed control will generally alleviate most problems
• Pyrethrin will control most insects
Harvest & Storage
• For fresh-cut flowers: Harvest in the morning when flowers are their freshest and petals are just opening
• Cut with a clean knife that has been dipped in a solution of 10% household bleach
• A few drops of bleach in the vase will prolong their beauty
