Planting & Care
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of a moist seed-starting mix and press gently; do not cover as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots. Harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
In the garden, choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Snapdragons may benefit from staking in windy areas.
