Planting & Care

Start snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and lightly press them in, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the soil consistently 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 gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

In the garden, choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Tall varieties like Rocket Mix may benefit from staking in windy areas.
