Mr Fothergills Antirrhinum Rust Resistant Mixed 1000 Seeds

Antirrhinum - Rust Resistant Mixed

This is a half hardy perennial, best grown as a half hardy annual. It produces traditional, brightly coloured snaps, ideal for gardens where rust is a problem. They are also versatile with impressive colourful flower spikes.

Sow indoors from January to March. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow, 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always handle by a leaf and never by the stem. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out, May-June, 20cm apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers from June to October.
