Growing Snapdragon Maryland Orange from Seed
Starting snapdragons from seed is straightforward, especially when working with pelleted seed, which makes sowing easier and ensures even spacing.
-
Sowing – Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost. Surface-sow the pelleted seeds on a fine, moist seed-starting mix and lightly press them into place (do not cover heavily, as they need light to germinate).
-
Temperature – Germination is best between 65–75°F. Seeds generally sprout in 10–14 days.
-
Transplanting – Harden off seedlings before planting outdoors. Space them 6–8 inches apart for strong airflow and abundant blooms.
-
Fertilization – Use a balanced fertilizer every couple of weeks to encourage healthy growth.
-
Harvesting for Cut Flowers – Harvest stems when the bottom third of the flowers are open. This ensures a long vase life.
For larger plantings, many growers rely on bulk snapdragon seeds, which are more cost-effective for high-volume production.
