Night and Day Snapdragon Seeds

Antirrhinum majus

Night and Day' is a spicy-scented, striking cousin of the 'Black Prince' snapdragon. This bumblebee favorite is long blooming and makes gorgeous cut flowers! We love its look next to bunny tails grass in a container. Its dark red petals turn nearly black in the fall, and its foliage turns dark burgundy, contrasting with its lower white jaws. The uniquely-shaped edible flowers are interesting and pretty as a garnish on salads, desserts, and cold drinks. Perennial in USDA zones 5 and warmer, usually grown as an annual. Deer resistant.

    Snap dragon

    Came in 2 days. Planted but not yet warm enough at night to sprout. Grew them last year. A few along the base of the house stayed all winter and are now griwing ready to bloom soon as blosdom buds are maturing and ready soon to open!

    Hey Sylvia,

    How amazing that some of your snapdragons from last year overwintered and are already getting ready to bloom - those buds sound like they're going to put on quite a show soon! We love that you're growing Night and Day Snapdragon Seeds again, and we can't wait for you to see those gorgeous blooms when your new seeds get going. Nothing beats the charm of snapdragons with their unique flower shapes and vibrant colors! Keep on growing 🌻️

    Gorgeous

    Had to pull my good camera out on a cloudy day to take pictures of these beauties to get their true colors. I felt like a lot of the review pictures don't do them justice. The leaves are a really pretty dark green and the red can look brighter in bright light but they are more maroon colored. I got excellent germination and started these in the fall. It is now the end of March and they are finally taking off. We have had a very warm winter in zone 9b and I have found these are handling the heat much better than a lot of my other snapdragon varieties. Will definitely buy these again this fall.

    Hey Candice,

    Wow, we're absolutely thrilled to hear about your stunning Night and Day Snapdragon Seeds! You're so right that photos sometimes don't capture their true beauty - those rich maroon tones with the gorgeous dark green foliage really are something special. We love that you took the time with your good camera to really showcase their colors! It's fantastic that you got such excellent germination and that they're proving to be real heat champions in your zone 9b. Snapdragons that can handle a warm winter are definitely keepers! We're so excited you'll be growing them again this fall - sounds like you've found a winner. Keep on growing 🌻️

    So far so good!

    It’s too early to enjoy the blooms but all the seeds I started germinated beautifully and I’m looking forward to watching them continue to grow this season!
