SNAPDRAGONS 
Snapdragons bloom freely the first season from seed started in early 
spring. If cut back and potted up in September they will bloom nearly 
all winter, or they may be left outdoors with some protection over 
winter to bloom again in the spring. For summer flowers sow the 
seed indoors in March and transplant to the open ground in May, 
choosing, if possible, a moist location and cultivating frequently.
