- Richard H.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars12/10/25Getting seedling started
3 days after receiving the magic carpet blend snapdragon seeds, I planted more than 30. Great germination and they are thriving in my greenhouse. I live in zone 9B in Florida. Waiting for warmer weather to transplant to gardens.

I started these seeds a couple of weeks ago. They are very tiny so I just took a pinch from the packet and spread them into the cells. All the cells have sprouts. Germination rate is excellent. I can't wait to see them in the garden.

This is my first purchase from botanical and it was such a good experience, the seeds germinated quickly and had almost 100% germination!
