Planting & Care
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover as they need light to germinate. Keep the growing medium moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature of 65-75°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 bright, cool location. Harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
In the garden, choose a sunny spot 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 vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas. With proper care, Topper Mix Snapdragons will provide a spectacular display all season long.
