    Customer photo review of Snapdragon Seeds - Madame Butterfly Bronze

    These germinated well, were prolific throughout the growing season, and the colors were beautiful. I’ve seen lots of reviews saying the colors were not as expected - kind of true but not a bad thing IMO. The seem to be variegated, as some were more yellow and others the expected color. Made for beautiful bouquets.

    Customer photo review of Snapdragon Seeds - Madame Butterfly Bronze

    I love these, had good germination, they are tall and perfect for bouquets, but the color is not nearly as ‘bronze’ as I was expecting based on the pictures.

    I bought 5 packets of snapdragons all different colors. Its been 3 weeks and I don’t have a single sprout. I bought these to grow for my daughters wedding. I have them indoors, under lights, 70ish degrees with plastic covering to keep them moist. What am i doing wrong? Im going to give it another week but wanted to write a review. Im so disappointed.

    I was so excited for these last season. Surprised that there were so few seeds in the packet compared to other varieties and unfortunetly very few germinated. Bought another packet to make sure I didn't mess something up but both had the same result. Will try another variety this spring.

    Bought these as backup because the twinny bronze weren’t long enough and had hardly no seeds… well these hardly had any either… and not a SINGLE one germinated and I did it the same way as the other ones that’s were successful. Unhappy!

    Recieved 25-30 seeds in a 50 seed packet. Very unhappy given the price

    I live in revised Zone 8 and direct sowed the seeds into a raised bed. All of the seeds germinated and are growing. I don’t expect there to be any issues with flowering. If you are able to with your hardiness zone, direct sow for best germination. I took toilet paper and a bit of water to drop individual seeds on “homemade seed tape” since the seeds are so small.

    I planted my seeds in cells a couple of weeks ago and so far I have several seedlings sprouting and ready to be planted outside. I have a feeling I'm not the only one who's had luck with these seeds, but maybe I'm the only one who's taken the time to write a positive review :)

    Snapdragon Seeds - Madame Butterfly Bronze

    I echo the previous comment. 36 seeds in my packet isn’t acceptable. A package from a rare seed supplier had 150 seeds. I don’t recommend.

    I ordered a variety of seeds in November, but just opened this packet to start my snapdragons indoors. Disappointed in how few seeds there were, since the germination rate for snapdragons can be spotty. I received about 30% fewer seeds than average. I'll see how the other seeds do, but likely won't repurchase.

We are in the process of reworking our picking process to make sure our count is as accurate as possible. Our Customer Service team has processed a means of resolution for you. Feel free to let us know if we can assist further!

    I was really looking forward to this snapdragon but none of the seeds germinated. I am a grower, I attempted to start 18 cells with two to three seeds in each but not one had any signs of life. Bummer.
