Snapdragon Burgundy Bicolor

This magical garden snapdragon has stunning burgundy blooms with accents of yellow and white. Successor to the popular Montego series. Nearly dayneutral flowering and reliable, tight flowering window across the series provides opportunity to program crops at all seasons with bench run finish. Strong central leader starts the show early, followed by numerous sturdy side branches for a classic bold look at retail, and a long lasting color show for the customer.

Surface sow seed in a 512-cell tray, or a tray with larger cells, 8–10 weeks before planting out after the last frost. Light is needed for germination, but a thin layer of fine vermiculite covering the seed will help maintain moisture levels and prevent algae growth. Bottom water or mist lightly to avoid covering the seed with displaced soil. Germination should occur in 7–14 days at 70–75°F/21–24°C. Provide adequate air circulation to further prevent algae growth and the occurrence of disease.

After emergence, place cell trays in a location where they will continue to receive good air circulation. Reduce moisture levels and keep soil evenly moist but not saturated for best rooting. Maintain a soil temperature of 65–75°F/18–24°C.

Once the true leaves have developed, in approximately 21 days, allow the soil to dry out between watering but avoid wilting to promote root growth. Transplant into packs or larger containers or cell trays. After the seedlings have 3–5 true leaves, grow at 50–55°F/10–14°C at night and 60°F/16°C during the day.

Harden off by exposing the seedlings to controlled cold temperatures 8–10 weeks after sowing. Transplant when the plants are acclimated.
