Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover as light aids germination. Keep moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 8-12 inches apart. Provide support for trailing stems if desired.
Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Snapdragons prefer cooler temperatures and may decline in extreme heat; provide afternoon shade in hot climates.
