Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sprinkle seeds on the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix and press gently; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 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 bright, cool location. Harden off before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow good air circulation. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, but avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas. Snapdragons are relatively low-maintenance and generally resistant to deer and rabbits.
