Snapdragons are very popular short-lived garden perennials that are usually grown as annuals. They are a mainstay of classic flower gardens, with infinite uses, from mixed border gardens to flower boxes to patio containers. The common name derives from the shape of the individual flower heads, which resemble the snout of a dragon, and which even open and close in a snapping motion, as often happens when pollinators open the jaws to reach the pollen. . . . #smithsgardentown #letsgrow #snapdragons

Starting snapdragons from seed this year? Here are a few do’s and don’ts for starting the seeds indoors.🌸 1. Buy seeds from a quality grower. You’ll have greater germination rates. 2. Don’t sow more than one variety per cell tray or container. Different varieties germinate at different rates. 3. Label every cell or pot well with plant variety and the date sowed. You wont remember them later if you don’t. And keep seed packets for easy reference. 4. Pre-moisten your seed starting mix. Don’t use
