Caring for Snapdragon
- Full sun to light shade. Prefer cooler times of the year.
- Well-drained soils that tend toward alkaline pH.
- Excellent if planted mid to late summer as they will do well until very hard frost kills them.
- Tall cultivars may need staking.
- Trailing types require good drainage.
- Remove spent flower spikes to promote rebloom and to keep the plant from dying back.
