Tips on Snapdragon Culture 
Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) seed should be 
started in flats early in the spring. Care 
should be taken not to plant the seed too 
deeply, or to over-water. When plants are 
large enough to handle, they can be pricked 
off into 24-inch pots and hardened in the 
cold frame for later transplanting. 
Seeds may also be sown directly in the 
open soil and then thinned out, leaving 
seedlings about a foot apart. 
Snapdragons are a hardy annual and ex- 
cellent results may be obtained by fall sow- 
ing.
