Key Characteristics
Description / 'Black Prince' Snapdragon Seeds
This dragon looks like it might really snap. A wonderful heirloom reselected for modern vigor and bloom power, 'Black Prince' Snapdragon is a glorious snapdragon with blooms of darkest crimson and bronzy foliage that complements the fresh greens of the spring or fall garden beautifully.
The blooms arise on long, dense stalks, faintly redolent of cinnamon and so showy. 'Black Prince' Snapdragon plants reach 18 inches tall and about 12 inches wide in the garden—a great size for the bed, border, or even edging.
If you have never "snapped" a snapdragon, here is how to do it: You'll notice that the blooms form two separate cupped clusters that meet in the middle, like jaws. Gently squeeze the sides of the jaws, and the two clusters will separate, just like a mouth opening. The space is just the right size for a child's finger to poke into the dragon's mouth. Release the bloom and the jaws "snap" closed.
'Black Prince' Snapdragon Seeds may be direct sown or started indoors for earlier blooms. Snaps are cool-season annuals that bloom in spring and fall in warm areas, summer in colder climates. In very warm locations they may winter over if mulched. They do best in full sun to light shade.

Waste of money and electricity 0 people found this helpfulI was so excited about these seeds, but am very disappointed. They got about 1/2 inch tall, then stopped growing & died. Had them under my plant lights for 12 hours a day. I would like a new pack of seeds from Park. Waste of money and electricity :(

Grew well in zone 5 and some reseeding 0 people found this helpfulI started these seeds in my bio some and had good germination. I didn't do a good job of gardening of before transplanting it outside, but enough plants made it and spring up quickly with blooms almost all summer. A couple of plants reserved as well, so I got a little bonus the next year. This has become one of my favorites to put around lemony lime grasses for contrast

Beautiful 0 people found this helpfulThese flowers are amazing. I started them indoors and I have a ton of flowers. I keep picking them and they keep growing. It’s hard to keep up with them! The stems are a little shorter, but they still work for cut flowers. They’re beautiful!

Great Quality 0 people found this helpfulI had so many seeds germinate. I followed directions which were easy to read. Had a few die because my cat used the seedlings and their pots as a bathroom. They are still growing and looking wonderful.
