How to Plant Snapdragon from Seed

Preparing the Site

Snapdragons grow best in well-draining soil in full sun. Although they can tolerate partial shade, the amount of blooms is reduced.

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 to Garden

  • 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.

Growth Requirements

Light:

  • Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours per day) for optimal growth.

Soil:

  • Prefers well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter.
  • Can tolerate sandy or clay soils but does best in nutrient-rich conditions.
  • Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5.

Watering:

  • Water deeply once a week, allowing soil to dry between waterings.

  • Ideal growing temperatures: 70-85°F (21-29°C).

Fertilization:

Maintenance

Watering:

  • Water at the base to avoid fungal diseases.
  • Provide consistent moisture during flowering and seed development.

Staking & Support:

  • Tall varieties may need staking or wind protection.
  • Use bamboo stakes or garden twine to prevent stems from bending.

Deadheading & Pruning:

  • Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
  • Trim back excess foliage for better air circulation.

Fertilization:

  • Apply a side dressing of compost or balanced fertilizer during early growth.
  • Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers that reduce flower production.
Pests and Diseases

  • Aphids: Cause distorted growth; treat with insecticidal soap.
  • Spider Mites: Increase in dry conditions; spray with water or neem oil.

  • Rust: Orange spots on leaves; prevent with good air circulation.
  • Powdery Mildew: White powdery patches; treat with fungicides.
