Growing Info
Special Care: Once flowers have over 4 sets of leaves, trim plants (pinching) to just above the 3rd set of leaves to encourage branching. Although you won't have blooms for a couple of weeks, when you do, the plants will be bushier with a lot more flowers. Cutting back spent flower stalks will encourage fall blooming after primary late spring/early summer bloom. Snapdragons reseed, so cut off spent blooms if reseeding is not desirable. Since snapdragons are susceptible to rust, a foliage disease, avoid wetting the leaves when watering.
