Description
Antirrhinum 'Jamaican Mist' is the result of T&M's own breeding and selection. An exclusive blend of scrumptious trumpet-like flowers in soft, pastel hues, including shell pink, golden yellow, apricot, rose and peach. Together they form a wondrous cloud of summer color for bedding and containers.
Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Indoors 8-10 weeks before planting out after last frost zones 2-7, autumn zones 8-10 |
|---|
Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed sowing mix. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag until after germination which usually takes 10-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
Growing Instructions
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Grow on in cooler conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-30cm (9-12in) apart.
Aftercare Instructions
Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooming.
