Snapdragon Brighton Rock is an heirloom variety that comes with a lovely blend of pastel bi-coloured blooms. The common name snapdragon originates from the fact that the flower looks like a dragon's mouth having its throat squeezed. If that’s not bizarre enough, the flower seed pods turn into creepy skulls when they die. Perhaps it is because of this ambiguous appearance that in the Victorian language of flowers, it symbolised deception and presumption. Fun fact: Only large insects like bumblebees can pollinate snapdragons because the petals are too heavy for smaller insects to push apart.    Details Open tab Latin name Antirrhinum majus Seeds 1500 seeds Name Snapdragon Variety Brighton Rock Short description An old-fashioned flower, a treasure for bumblebees Plant size Height 45 cm Width 45 cm Container size Height 20 cm Width 20 cm Companion plant Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, melons, flowers How to grow Open tab Sowing Indoor Not required  Outdoor Apr-June Timing Germination 15-20 days Harvesting 100 days Spacing When sowing 5 cm; Depth 0,5 cm When thinning 10 cm Growing Sunligth Full sun Soil Any soil Watering Regular watering, not overdone Feeding Light feeder Caring Expert tip After they are done blooming, trim the plants back, and they quickly will begin blooming again.
