Fothergill's Little Gardeners Baby Snap Dragons Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Linaria maroccana, commonly known as Moroccan Toadflax or Baby Snapdragons.
• Plant Class: Hardy Annual, growing rapidly from seed to complete its beautiful life cycle and flower heavily within a single summer season.
• Growth Habit: Reaches a perfectly compact and neat height of 25cm (10in) with a tidy spread of 15cm (6in), making it an excellent size for children to manage in their own little plots.
• Child-Friendly Appeal: Features beautifully illustrated, easy-to-understand packet instructions. Children love gently squeezing the tiny, bright flowers to watch them "open and snap" just like real dragons!
• Long Flowering Window: Keeps the garden bursting with colour for months on end, providing a continuous, rewarding display from early summer right through to the autumn frosts.
• Sunlight Position: Performs best when positioned in full sun, which encourages maximum bud development and keeps the flower colours bright and intense.
• Versatile Fun: Ideal for sowing in dedicated children's garden borders, fairy gardens, window boxes, or fun patio containers and pots.

Care & Growing Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Direct sow thinly outdoors from spring onwards into finely prepared, weed-free soil in a sunny spot. Lightly rake the seeds into the surface and water gently with a fine-rosed watering can.
• Maintenance: An exceptionally low-maintenance and forgiving choice for young gardeners. Keep the soil reasonably moist during dry spells, and simply snip off faded flowers to keep the plants producing fresh blooms all summer long.
