Twinny is a compact snapdragon grown for its distinctive double, open flowers. The plants reach around 25–30 cm and work well in pots, window boxes or at the front of a sunny border.
Its short stems make it a garden and container variety rather than a snapdragon for long cut stems. Choose Twinny if you want the flower form of a double snapdragon in a smaller space.

HOW TO SOW ANTIRRHINUMS/SNAPDRAGONS:
Sow under glass. Surface sow onto moist but well-drained seed compost. Do not cover the seed. Do not exclude light. Ideal Temp 18-20°C. Seedlings will be very small and should only be watered from below to prevent disturbance. When large enough to handle transplant seedlings to 8cm pots. Grow on in cooler conditions for 10-15 days.
