Snapdragons are a gorgous flower, both in the garden and cut for use in bouquets. In this video, I show you how to keep them blooming all summer long, whether you like to enjoy them indoors or out.
@@wandamiller23 yes! You can collect them and plant where you want them…or let the flowers just drop seeds and grow where the wind and water takes them.
How long does it take to bloom again once you cut the stem low? My daughter is getting married on June 14 and I want to put some in her flower arrangements. I have several stems with 2-4 blooms to cut now but am hoping there's a way to have more blooms in 21 days. There are some immature stems still growing. Thank you!
It depends on your growing situation and the weather you get over the next few weeks. Some of the blooms that I deadheaded in this video are now ready to cut again after two weeks. Worth a try!
Thank you for your time on this video. I bought a flat of snap dragons already growing. Each on has one flower…should I cut out that one flower so once planted it will produce stronger blooms later. Thank you
You can! Many flower farmers recommend “pinching” your snapdragons early in their life. Note that the type of snapdragons sold at garden centers are usually not the same, long stem varieties. They are bred to be shorter bedding plants, but they will still continue to produce blooms if you cut the spent flowers low, they just won’t get as tall as the type I’m growing.
Thanks for the great video. I haven't deadheaded my snapdragons in the past, but I'll definitely be giving it a go now! Looking forward to learning more from you! 💚
I think you are a bit early. You typically want them to be transplanted into the garden 4-6 weeks before your first frost. They like cool weather, but won’t really put on a show for you just til next spring.
