Planting & Care

Start snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds on the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix and press them gently; do not cover as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). 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.

Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Snapdragons may benefit from staking in windy areas. Enjoy the lovely lavender blooms in your garden or cut them for indoor arrangements.
