Snapdragon

Garden Seeds

Snapdragons bring height, color, and movement to the garden with tall flower spikes covered in vibrant blooms throughout the growing season. Blooming in shades of pink, red, yellow, orange, white, and purple, they create a classic cottage garden look while adding structure to borders, raised beds, and cutting gardens.

Their nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, helping support a diverse and thriving garden ecosystem. Planted alongside herbs, vegetables, and companion flowers, snapdragons add beauty while encouraging pollinator activity throughout the season.

One of their most charming features is the unique flower shape that inspired their name. Gently squeeze the sides of an individual bloom and it opens like the mouth of a tiny dragon, making them a favorite for gardeners of all ages.

Long-lasting blooms and sturdy stems also make snapdragons an excellent cut flower, bringing fresh color from the garden into bouquets and floral arrangements all summer long.

Planting Tips:

• Start: Direct sow after the last frost or start indoors 6–8 weeks before planting out
• Depth: Surface sow or lightly press into the soil
