Snapdragons are a popular, old-fashioned and cool-seasoned annual that produces sweet-smelling and long-lasting blooms on spikes.

Before Planting:To increase germination rates, some gardeners believe in freezing seeds for a few days before planting.

Planting:Plant Snapdragon seeds after the last hard frost, but they will tolerate a lighter frost. Plant in partial shade if you want to see them last through the summer and begin blooming again in the fall.

Watering:Keep well-watered throughout their growing season.

Fertilizer:Once established, Snapdragons are not heavy feeders. However, adding organic matter such as manure or compost to the bed will promote plant health.

Days to Maturity:Snapdragons continue to produce blooms from early to midsummer.

Harvesting:Cut the snapdragons at a 45-degree angle just above a leaf node. Cut them early in the day.

Tips:Deadheading will encourage more blooms and increase the blooming period.
