Snapdragon seeds — the flower that snaps

Snapdragons are a much-loved cottage flower, named for the dragon-mouth blooms that snap open when squeezed — dense, colourful spikes from low bedding types to tall cutting spires. The species is gathered under Antirrhinum majus within our flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide covers the basics.

Time your sowing for a long display — the calendar shows when.

Tall for cutting, dwarf for pots

Tall varieties give long, elegant stems for the vase — a backbone of our cut flowers — while dwarf and trailing forms are perfect for our container range. The lipped flowers feed heavier bees, so they're good for pollinators too.

Growing snapdragons from seed

Sow the fine seed on the surface in late winter or spring — it needs light to germinate, so don't cover it. Pinch young plants to encourage bushy growth and more spikes, and keep cutting or deadheading for months of flowers.

Building a cutting patch or pots? Here's where to look next.
