When to sow Antirrhinums/Snapdragon in NZ?

Antirrhinum seeds can be sown in New Zealand from spring through summer for the best results. Warmer regions may begin sowing in September, while cooler areas benefit from starting in October. As the seed is very tiny, for best results surface sow in a propagation tray. Do not cover with mix as the seeds require light to germinate. Keeping in a warm area or on a heat pad with consistent watering will see seeds germinate in 7-14 days. Plant seedlings in frost-free conditions to ensure steady growth. Kings Seeds’ Antirrhinum seeds are perfectly suited to New Zealand’s varied climates, making it simple for gardeners to enjoy colourful blooms throughout the growing season. 

How long does it take for Antirrhinums to flower?

Antirrhinum typically take 10–12 weeks to flower from planting, depending on conditions and care. From seed, young seedlings will take around 4 weeks to grow to a size suitable for potting on and hardening off, before being planted outdoors in the garden. Warmer temperatures and regular watering encourage faster growth and earlier blooms. Healthy plants reward gardeners with vibrant flowers that look fabulous in the garden or a vase. Kings Seeds’ premium Antirrhinum seeds ensure reliable results, adding colour to any garden with minimal effort. 

Where is the best place to plant Antirrhinums?
