Planting & Care

Start snapdragon seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow the seeds on the surface of a moist seed-starting mix and press them gently in place, since light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy and maintain a moderate temperature. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors.

Set plants in a sunny location with well-drained soil and water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Pinch young plants to encourage bushier growth, and remove spent flower spikes to promote continued blooming. Tall stems may benefit from light staking in windy areas. Harvest stems for bouquets when the lower flowers on the spike have opened.
