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.

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 🌻️

- AllanaRated 5 out of 5 stars3/19/26Beautiful and easy to grow.
Love love love these. Great germination. I started these in my greenhouse and transferred half into pots and half into the ground. Both did wonderful! Easy to grow. They really stand out. A new favorite.

I planted the Night and Day Snapdragon seeds 3 days after receiving. Great Germination for these snapdragons. They are thriving well in my greenhouse until the spring when the will be transplanted into my gardens. Doing very well.
