Planting & Care

Start snapdragon seeds indoors in a fine, well-drained seed-starting mix. Press seeds gently into the surface and keep them moist, as light aids germination. Provide warmth and consistent moisture until seedlings emerge, then give them bright light to encourage strong growth. Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Plant in a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and space plants for good airflow to help prevent disease. Pinch young plants if desired to encourage bushier growth, and deadhead spent blooms to promote continued flowering. Tall stems may benefit from light staking in windy locations.
