INTRODUCING SNAPDRAGON SEEDS

Originating from the Mediterranean region, snapdragons have been a garden favorite for centuries. They were always cherished for their unique flower shape. These plants are ornamental, but they also attract useful pollinators and enhance garden biodiversity. Snapdragons are suited to grow in USDA hardiness zones 7 to 11.

WHEN TO PLANT SNAPDRAGON SEEDS

Planting snapdragon seeds usually starts indoors. Sow them 10-12 weeks ahead of time, as they need a longer growing period to bloom. Snapdragon seeds require light for germination. Firmly press them into the soil, but do not cover. Make sure the soil remains moist until seedlings emerge. Transplant them outside only when the risk of frost has passed. Space the plants 12-18 inches apart.

MAINTAINING SNAPDRAGON PLANTS

Snapdragons love regular watering. During dry spells, ensure the soil is consistently moist. They prefer cooler temperatures and may need partial shade in hotter climates. Applying organic fertilizer during the blooming period enhances flowering. Remove dry blooms to extend the flowering season.

Our snapdragon seeds will encourage gardeners to cultivate an amazingly charming plant. Snapdragons bring beauty to your outdoor spaces, offering a playful interaction with nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
