How to Plant Snapdragon from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Indoors: Start 6-8 weeks before the last frost to get an early bloom.
  • Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, though indoor starting is recommended for better success.

Seed Preparation

  • Snapdragon seeds are tiny and require light for germination.
  • Do not bury seeds deep; a light pressing onto the soil surface is sufficient.

Sowing Seeds

Indoors: Fill seed trays or small pots with a light, well-draining seed-starting mix. Sprinkle the seeds lightly on top of the soil. Press them gently into the soil, ensuring good contact but not covering them completely. Place in a bright, warm location (65-75°F). Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Germination takes 10-21 days.

Direct: Prepare the soil by loosening it and removing weeds. Scatter seeds lightly and press them into the soil surface. Water gently and keep moist until seedlings emerge.

Transplanting Seedlings

  • Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, harden them off by gradually introducing them to outdoor conditions.
  • Space plants 6-12 inches apart, depending on variety size.

Pro Tip

Snapdragons bloom best in cool weather, so plant them in early spring or fall for vibrant flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering, and pinch back young plants to promote bushier growth.

Bonus: They reseed easily, so you might get surprise blooms next season!

Getting to know your Snapdragon

Snapdragons are popular annual or short-lived perennial flowers known for their tall spikes of colorful, tubular blooms. They grow best in cool temperatures, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. The plant reaches heights of 6 inches to 3 feet, depending on the variety. Snapdragons attract pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming. They are susceptible to fungal diseases in humid conditions, so good air circulation is essential.
