Snapdragon, Orange Wonder (Organic)
Antirrhinum majus. 50-60 days
A stunning example of that magical orange-peach flower color that appears to glow like an eye candy sunset. We love this quality of color wherever we can find it, and Orange Wonder snapdragon is so spectacular that everyone who saw it in our field stopped in their tracks to admire it. A great cut flower, stems will continue to bloom until frost. Unique variety that grows to 3′ tall and benefits from support. Deer resistant.
Surface sow after danger of frost or sow indoors for transplant starting 8 weeks before last frost. Germination in 7 – 10 days. Thin/ transplant to 12” centers. Pinch growth tip when young to promote branching. Deadhead to prolong bloom. Perennial in zones 8 – 10. Will self-seed.
Seed Saving
Collect seeds from pods that are fully dry. Shell by hand or by dancing, winnow to clean. Will cross-pollinate. Isolate from other varieties of the same species by 1/2 mile.
