preventing crosspollination in snapdragons

18 years ago

I just bought a cell-pack of four liberty series white snapdragons the other day. If I like them, how do I preserve their lines so I can save seeds and have more white ones next year? Don't they need insects to pollenate? Are they hybrids so I am wasting my time anyway? I have Rocket series growing close by and would like to keep them from cross-pollenating if it is do-able.

I know they are cheap enough to buy but I am curious-and frugal. Why buy more when you can get 100's of seeds from the ones you already have?

Tomatoes don't need insects so you can just bag the blossoms for seed purity. Just wondering about snaps. And sweet peas too for that matter.
