About -

Transform your garden into a colorful spectacle with Richgrow Seeds Antirrhinum Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Antirrhinum majus), ideal for home gardeners seeking vibrant, long-lasting blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as Snapdragon or Dog Flower, this variety produces spikes of tubular flowers in shades of pink, white, red, yellow, or bicolor, with a sweet, delicate fragrance, perfect for borders, beds, containers, or cut flowers, blooming from 8–12 weeks after sowing through the growing season. Rich in nectar, antirrhinum attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing garden ecosystems. The upright, bushy plants, growing 30–90 cm tall depending on the cultivar, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as rust, thriving in cool to mild climates, with optimal sowing in spring (March–May) or early fall (September–October) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Punjab, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.2–0.5 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun to partial shade (4–6 hours daily), spacing 15–30 cm apart in rows 30 cm wide; press seeds lightly into soil, as they need light to achieve 85% germination within 10–20 days at 15–20°C. Maintain moist soil with light watering (0.5 liters per plant every 2–3 days), pinch tips when plants are 10 cm tall to encourage bushiness, and fertilize with organic compost or a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks; use neem oil for pests like spider mites. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and stake taller varieties for support, with excellent durability as cut flowers. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (200–250 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Pinch and deadhead for continuous blooms; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
