Good to know: Snapdragons are cool-season cut flowers. Their numbered groups describe the light and temperature conditions in which they flower best, so timing the correct group for the season matters.

Sun: Full sun; light afternoon shade can help in warmer climates
Seed starting: Surface sow because snapdragon seed needs light to germinate; keep evenly moist
Germination: Commonly 7–14 days
Spacing: About 4–6 inches for cut-flower production
Season: Best growth and flowering come in cooler conditions
Support: Tall stems may benefit from flower netting
Production note: Snapdragons generally prefer cooler growing conditions. Tall cut-flower stems often benefit from netting or other support.
