Planting & Care

Start snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the growing medium moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F. 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 6-8 inches apart in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Snapdragons may benefit from a light mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
