What sets this variety apart is its extraordinary foliage — deep, rich, almost black leaves that create a moody, theatrical backdrop for the blooms in a way that ordinary green-leafed snapdragons simply cannot match. The flowers themselves are beautifully rich — velvety purples, deep pinks, burgundy, and warm sunset tones — colours that seem to glow even more intensely against the dark foliage. More compact than tall cutting varieties, Twilight Mix sits beautifully at the front to middle of the border, and its striking stems make it a truly show-stopping addition to fresh flower arrangements where that dark foliage adds depth and drama that florists love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌑 \u003cstrong\u003eAlmost black foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e — deep, near-black leaves are extraordinarily dramatic and set this variety apart from all other snapdragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌸 \u003cstrong\u003eRich twilight-toned blooms\u003c\/strong\u003e — deep purples, velvety pinks, burgundy and warm sunset shades that glow against the dark foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003eStunning as a cut flower\u003c\/strong\u003e — the dark foliage adds incredible depth and drama to fresh arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eCompact and border-friendly\u003c\/strong\u003e — shorter than tall cutting varieties, perfect for the front to middle of the border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003ePollinator magnet\u003c\/strong\u003e — bumblebees are particularly drawn to snapdragon flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eEasy from seed\u003c\/strong\u003e — germinates reliably with a little warmth and patience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow seeds onto the surface of moist seed-raising mix — snapdragons need light to germinate so do not cover. Keep at 18–22°C. Germination can take 10–21 days so be patient. Sow in late winter to early spring for spring and summer flowering, or in late summer for autumn and winter blooms in mild NZ regions. Plant out into a sunny position with well-drained fertile soil, spacing 20–30 cm apart. Pinch out the growing tip when plants are 10 cm tall to encourage bushy growth and more flower spikes. Deadhead regularly to extend flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e30 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Antirrhinum majus Twilight Mix, with sowing and growing instructions included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📄 Want the full growing guide?
