Snapdragons thrive in cooler weather, Grop One can be trickier to start from seed than other snapdragon groups. Place seeds in the fridge for a few weeks and sow them in September or October indoors.
This series is a real eye-catcher with large open-faced blooms. Chantilly transports you back to a time when flowers offered a fresh scent. A great addition to garden borders and floral designs, try taller varieties for nice focal points. Though many commercial snapdragons are widely grown in greenhouses, Harris chooses varieties selected specifically for field production, making them ideal for gardeners and growers.

Eye-catching, large, open-faced frilly blooms in a light salmon with coral pink accents. The Chantilly series is one of the most interesting of the snapdragons. Very early flowering and incredibly productive. Excellent as a cut flower, as the more you cut the more spikes of blooms you get. This is a tall snapdragon, from 36-40” in height. Annual. Best in full sun. Seed sowing instructions: Best if sown directly in the garden after all danger of frost. Seed can also be sown indoors in early spring. Sow on the surface of a good seeding mix, in warm temperatures, 70-75 degrees F. They can then be transplanted out when large enough to handle and temperatures stay above freezing. Of note, snapdragon seed is very susceptible to damping-off disease if sown indoors, so let the surface dry out a little between watering after they have sprouted. Good ventilation and air flow is also very helpful. We only ship to the 50 states in the U.S.A. If ordered outside the United States the order will be canceled.
