Chantilly™ Bronze (F1) Snapdragon Seed

Item #HSC-SNP-022-PKT

An early snapdragon with open-faced flowers.

Chantilly snapdragons have open, butterfly-like florets instead of the usual snapping jaw. This one blooms in salmon-tangerine. Grow it in a greenhouse or the field.

Group 1–2 types are bred for short days and cool temperatures; under long, hot summer days the stems stay short and thin, so grow them for winter, early spring or late fall flowering. The blossoms are edible, with a mildly bitter, floral taste; add just a few as a garnish.

Plants grow 48–54" tall and flower about 100–110 days from sowing. F1 hybrid.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Surface-sow indoors

Sow 8–10 weeks before planting out and leave the seed uncovered or barely covered; it needs light. Expect sprouts in 7–14 days at 70–75°F.

Pot on

Move seedlings up at the first true leaves, about 3–4 weeks after sowing. Pinch at 4–6 leaves for more stems if you like.

Plant out

Sun to part shade in rich, moist, well-drained soil, 4–12" apart (6–12" for pinched plants).

Harvest

Cut when the lower third to half of the spike is open; hold at 32–40°F. Vase life is 7–10 days.

Growing Information

Days to germination

7–14 days at 70–75°F (21–24°C).

Starting indoors (recommended)

Sow on the surface of 128-cell trays or other seedling containers 8–10 weeks before planting out. The seed needs light to germinate, so cover it only enough to hold it in place; a very fine layer of vermiculite keeps it moist and discourages algae. Water from below or mist gently so the seed is not buried. Move seedlings into cell packs or larger pots at the first true leaves, about 3–4 weeks after sowing. Direct sowing is not recommended.

Pinching (optional)

For bushier plants with more flowering side shoots, pinch young plants back by half once they have 4–6 leaves or stand about 3–4" tall. Pinching delays flowering by a few weeks; space pinched plants 6–12" apart.

Light

Full sun to part shade.

Plant height

48–54".

Plant spacing

4–12".

Hardiness

Stem length

12–60". Single-cut plants can give stems almost as long as the plant is tall; plants cut repeatedly give stems of about 12–36".

Vase life

7–10 days.

Cooler storage

32–40°F (0–4°C).

Harvest

Cut when the florets on the lower third to half of the spike have opened.
