Planting & Care

Sow Candy Tops Orange snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in a cool, bright location.

After the danger of frost has passed, harden off the seedlings and transplant them outdoors, spacing 6-8 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. With minimal care, these dwarf snapdragons will reward you with a profusion of orange blooms and pollinator activity all season long.
