Double Frappe Light Pink 2 (F1) Snapdragon Seed
New! Early, double-flowering, and light pink.
A very exciting development in snapdragon breeding, pairing the popular double-flower form and light pink color with earliness and a high degree of uniformity. A softer pink than other double-flowering pink snapdragons. Uniform flowering time and excellent quality blooms. Group 2 snapdragon bred for optimal performance when grown under lower light and cooler temperatures. Recommended for early spring, fall, or winter production indoors or where winter growing is possible. Compared to the Madame Butterfly series, Double Frappe is earlier to flower and more uniform in quality. Its lovely soft pink color is unique and absent from the Madame Butterfly series. Double or Azalea type flower. Edible Flowers: The flowers are a colorful garnish for use in salads, desserts, and drinks. The flavor is floral and slightly bitter, so use sparingly.Specs:

DAYS TO GERMINATION:
7-14 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C)SOWING:
Transplant (recommended) - Surface-sow into 128-cell flats or preferred seedling container 8-10 weeks before planting out. Light is required for germination; cover just enough to hold seeds in place. Pinching is recommended if branching is desired. Light is required for germination, but a fine layer of vermiculite covering the seeds can maintain moisture levels and prevent algae growth. Bottom water or mist lightly to avoid covering the seed with displaced soil. Transplant to cell packs or larger containers when the first true leaves appear, approximately 3-4 weeks after sowing. If desired, for a bushier plant that produces more flower-producing side branches, pinch young plants back by half their height when plants have formed 4-6 leaves or are approximately 3-4 inches tall. Pinching will delay the crop time by a few weeks. If pinching, space plants 6-12 inches apart. Direct seeding is not recommended.LIGHT PREFERENCE:
