Surface sow as light aides germination, but a fine dusting of vermiculite helps with moisture. Bottom water or mist. Plants may be pinched, and its often recommended for more flowers, but it is not necessary. On our farm, we do not pinch. Instead, we plant intensively at 6” spacing, 3 plants per hole. and find we have better-quality stems than when pinching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eHarvest \u0026amp; Vase Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eFor long-term storage, harvest when 2 to 3 lower buds are expanding or showing color.

The plants grown from these seeds will usually show more vigor than either of the two parent plants, and often more vigor and uniformity than similar non-hybrid (standard) varieties. To create a hybrid (F1), traditional breeding methods are used that involve the cross-pollination of two parent varieties that were selected for specific traits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFREE\u003c\/strong\u003e: $100 or more on any seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e$3.95: 1–9 seed packets\u003cbr\u003e$7.95: 10+ seed packets\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003ePhoto Credit: Johnny's Selected Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Petal Back Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46125036208294,"sku":null,"price":5.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/8580\/6246\/files\/CopyofSoldOut_15.jpg?v=1738787088","url":"https:\/\/shop.petalbackfarm.com\/products\/snapdragon-orleans-red-iii-iv","provider":"Petal Back Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
