{"product_id":"antirrhinum-double-frappe-apricot","title":"Antirrhinum Double Frappe Apricot","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAntirrhinum Double Frappe Apricot is a double-flowered snapdragon, often called an azalea type for the way its full, frilly blooms layer over one another rather than opening as the single hooded flowers of a traditional snapdragon. The colour is a soft blush apricot, and the overall effect, both in the garden and gathered into a vase, has a lovely old-fashioned, Victorian charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach flower spike carries these ruffled little blooms closely packed from base to tip, giving a much fuller, richer look than you'd get from a single-flowered variety. As a cut flower it holds up well too, with a vase life of around 7 to 10 days, so a few stems cut for the house will keep their good looks for over a week. The flowers are also edible, a nice bonus for gardeners who enjoy dressing up a salad or a cake with something pretty and home-grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAntirrhinum Double Frappe Apricot is a hardy annual and a main season variety, equally happy grown outdoors or under cover in a greenhouse, and it flowers reliably in full sun. Plants grow upright to 60 to 90cm, so they suit the middle or back of a mixed border as well as a dedicated cutting patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe seed itself is extremely fine, so we pack this variety a little differently from most: it's sealed into a certified home compostable Natureflex bag inside the usual foil packet, keeping those tiny seeds secure right up until you're ready to sow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGrowing Antirrhinum Double Frappe Apricot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSow from September through to February into a good quality seed raising mix. This variety needs light to germinate, so sow the seed on the surface and press it gently into the mix rather than covering it, then keep it moist until seedlings appear. Aim for a soil temperature of 18–25°C, and expect germination in 7–14 days. Transplant seedlings into a full sun position once they're large enough to handle. Plants come into flower around 80–90 days from transplanting and reach a mature height of 60–90cm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kings Seeds NZ","offers":[{"title":"15 seeds","offer_id":49234776064308,"sku":"F1488.pkt","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0555\/6276\/files\/F1488-W1.png?v=1785895249","url":"https:\/\/www.kingsseeds.co.nz\/products\/antirrhinum-double-frappe-apricot","provider":"Kings Seeds NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
