- / per
The trailing snapdragon has trailing/mat-forming habit reaching a height of only 3-6". The somewhat woody main stems give rise fragrant soft-yellow snapdragon-like flowers that are bumblebee-pollinated.
A. procumbens is a semi-evergreen alpine, favouring somewhat dry partial shade, and is often found growing over rocks. This type of is habitat is designated endangered. Works well as a trailing alpine or ground cover. Thrives as a container plant.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 3-6", 9-15cm
Location: Shade or part shade
Hardiness zones: 6-9
Seeds per packet: 25
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic and may start after 30 days, though some can take up to a year. Do not discard the planting container as patience is required.
