Dark red snapdragon flower seeds are the small, oval-shaped structures found inside the seed pods of the snapdragon plant.

Snapdragons are popular garden plants known for their bright colors, attractive blooms, and long-lasting nature.
Specification:

- Germination Rate: 80% or higher
- Bloom Time: Approximately 8-10 weeks after sowing.

- Soil Type: Well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5.
- Species and varieties: Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) is a popular garden plant known for its vibrant and diverse flower colors. The dark red variety is particularly striking and adds a bold splash of color to any garden. There are many varieties of snapdragons, including dwarf, intermediate, and tall types, each with its own unique characteristics.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Snapdragon seeds can be either hybrid or heirloom. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, maintaining their original traits. Hybrid varieties are bred for specific characteristics such as color, size, and disease resistance. Dark red snapdragon seeds are often available in both forms, so gardeners can choose based on their preferences.
- Pruning and training: Regular deadheading (removal of spent flowers) encourages continuous blooming and prevents the plant from going to seed too early. Pinching back the stems when the plants are young can promote bushier growth. Taller varieties may require staking to support the flower spikes.
- Fertilization needs: Snapdragons benefit from a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer applied at planting time and then every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. A slow-release fertilizer or compost can also be beneficial.
- Hardiness zones: Snapdragons are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 7-10. They can be grown as annuals in cooler climates and as perennials in warmer regions.
- Climate requirements: Snapdragons prefer cool weather and can tolerate light frost. They thrive in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). In hotter climates, they may require some shade during the hottest part of the day to prevent wilting.
