Planting & Care
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix and press gently; do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in a cool, bright location. Harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Space plants 9-12 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks for continued bloom. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas. Snapdragons are relatively pest-free but watch for aphids and rust in humid conditions.
