Planting & Care
Sow Twinny Appleblossom seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface without covering, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature of 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 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, but avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking. Snapdragons are relatively pest-free but watch for aphids and rust.
