SNAPDRAGON
Usually grown as an annual. Snapdragon is named for the flower jaws that can be pinched open.
Snapdragons form colorful spikes of flowers that provide color over a long blooming period. Blooming in the late spring and summer. They will bloom again in the fall, if the faded flower spikes are removed to force new flowering and shoot development, removing spikes encourages a more bushy plant and flower production. Great for background plantings, edging, bedding and cut flowers.
Choose a well-drained garden location that receives at least 6-8 hours of full sun each day. Loosen soil to a dept of 12 inches and rake smooth.
For earliest bloom, start seeds indoors in a sunny window using peat pots filled with seed-starting mix, 6-8 weeks before planting outdoors. Harden off seedlings 2 weeks before final planting. Move outdoors into partial shade. Bring indoors at night. Gradually move into direct sunlight. Do not allow seedlings to dry out. Transplant into the garden after danger of frost is passed.
When direct planting outside, mix small seeds with dry sand and press gently in soil without covering them. Sand helps you see to sow properly and melts away when watered.
Water the garden if dry, making sure it receives at least 1 inch of water weekly.
