Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

For direct sowing, wait until the soil is workable in spring and scatter seeds thinly. Keep the area consistently moist until seedlings are established. Snapdragons benefit from regular watering and occasional fertilization. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage continued blooming. In hot climates, provide some afternoon shade to help plants thrive.
