Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start seeds 6 to 8 weeks before your region's last frost date, then transplant outdoors after the last frost. The ideal germination temperature is 60 to 70°F. Snapdragons are a cool-season flower with a spring and fall planting window. Count on 84 to 98 days to maturity for these full-sized, 36-inch plants.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Sow seeds 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant outdoors after last frost.

How to Grow

  • Prefers full sun.
  • Provide rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 6-12 inches apart.

  • To avoid, space plants farther apart and keep foliage dry.

How to Save Seeds

  • Seeds are easy to collect.
  • They are super small and contained within capsules that will turn brown and dry when seeds are ready to harvest.
  • Hand pick the capsules individually or snip stalks and shake seeds free into a paper bag.
  • Store in a cool, dark, dry, place.
