Are snapdragons annuals or perennials?
Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus) are tender perennials usually grown as annuals. They bloom best in the cool weather of spring and fall.
When and how do I plant snapdragon seeds?
Start indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost. Press the tiny seeds onto the surface without covering them, since they need light; seedlings appear in about 10 to 14 days.
How much sun and space does a snapdragon need?
Grow snapdragons in full sun in soil that drains well, and space plants about 6 to 12 inches apart. They love cool, bright conditions.
How do I get more snapdragon flowers?
Pinch young plants once to encourage branching, deadhead spent spikes, and keep them watered. They flower most heavily in cool weather.
Are snapdragons good cut flowers?
Yes. Cut the spikes when the lower third of the flowers are open, and they will keep opening in the vase for a long-lasting bouquet.
Do snapdragons attract pollinators?
They do. Bumblebees are especially good at pushing into the closed blooms, and the flowers offer nectar through the cooler months.
