Planting & Care

Sow Sonnet Orange Scarlet snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover completely, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the medium 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 grow on in a cool, bright location.

After the danger of frost has passed, harden off seedlings and transplant them into the garden, spacing 9-12 inches apart. Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep plants evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Snapdragons are generally low-maintenance and may benefit from a light application of balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
