Mr Fothergills Antirrhinum Tom Thumb Mixed 1500 Seeds

Antirrhinum - Tom Thumb Mixes

This is a half hardy perennial, best grown as a half hardy annual. It grows compact and bushy plants for beds, edging and planters. It is long flowering in a very wide range of colours.

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.
