Planting & Care

Sow Candy Tops Red Snapdragon seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10–21 days at temperatures around 65–70°F (18–21°C).

Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them to their final location, spacing 6–8 inches apart. Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Fertilize lightly every 4–6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer for best performance.
