Planting & Care
Sow snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature around 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 bright, cool location.
After the danger of frost has passed, harden off seedlings and transplant them into the garden, spacing 12-18 inches apart. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and promote bushier plants. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.
