FAQ about Snapdragon – Classic

When should snapdragons be sown?
Sow snapdragons indoors in late winter, six to eight weeks before the last frost, as they are slow to get going. Plant them out in spring once the risk of hard frost has passed. The seeds are fine and should only be pressed lightly onto the surface.
How tall do snapdragons grow?
Snapdragons grow 20-100 cm tall depending on the variety. Dwarf varieties suit pots and edging, while tall varieties are perfect for borders and the cutting garden.
Do snapdragons grow in the shade?
Snapdragons grow best in sun but tolerate partial shade. In too much shade the plant becomes leggy and flowers less.
How often should snapdragons be watered?
Water regularly but let the soil dry slightly between waterings. Snapdragons do not tolerate wet soil but need steady moisture to flower their best. Water at the base to prevent rust.
Are snapdragons good as cut flowers?
Yes, snapdragons are excellent cut flowers and last about a week in the vase. Cut them in the morning when the lowest flowers on the spike have opened, and put them straight into water. Removing the faded spikes keeps the plant flowering.
