Planting & Care

Start snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Surface sow seeds and press them lightly into the soil; do not cover as light aids germination. Keep soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in cooler conditions. Harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

In the garden, choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep plants hydrated, but avoid waterlogging. Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas. Snapdragons are relatively low-maintenance and attract pollinators.
