FAQ
Do snapdragons need cool weather?
They perform best in cool to moderate conditions. In hot regions, grow them for fall, winter, or early spring blooms.
Should I pinch the seedlings?
Pinching can increase branching and stem count. For the longest single stems, some cut-flower growers skip pinching.
