Planting & Care

Sow snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. 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, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.
