Snapdragon Seeds for Planting: Tall Spires for Borders, Bouquets, and Pots

Snapdragons bring tall, colorful spires to the cool parts of the season, when many other flowers are still getting started. Our collection of snapdragon seeds includes giant cutting mixes, classic heirlooms, and single-color varieties in rose pink, soft apple-blossom pink, and snowy white. All of them are open-pollinated and non-GMO, and the blooms are a favorite of bumblebees, which are strong enough to push open each flower's "mouth." Plant them in a cutting bed, along a border, or in a few pots by the door, since several of these varieties are container-friendly.

Snapdragon Seed Varieties: Giant Mixes, Heirlooms, and Single Colors

Bertrand's Giant Mixture is the pick for cutting, a tall blend that gives you a range of colors from a single packet. Lion's Mouth is an heirloom with the old-fashioned look that gave the flower its nickname, and Defiance adds another distinctive option to the lineup. If you prefer a calmer palette, Rose, Appleblossom, and White Snowflake each deliver a clean color story that pairs easily with other flowers in a vase or border. Heights vary by variety, so check each listing before you plan your beds, and keep taller types toward the back where their spires won't shade shorter neighbors.

Snapdragon Seed Planting: Surface Sow and Start Early

Growing snapdragon from seed takes a little patience and a light touch. The seeds are tiny and need light to germinate, so press them onto the surface of moist seed starting mix without covering them, and expect sprouts in one to two weeks. Start them indoors about eight to ten weeks before your last frost, since most listings in this collection show 91 to 120 days to maturity. Snapdragons handle cool weather well, so hardened-off seedlings can move outdoors a few weeks before your last frost. Pinch the tips once seedlings have about six leaves to encourage bushier plants and more stems. Keeping track of those dates is easier with the Seedtime garden planning software, which builds a planting calendar around your frost dates, and the task list reminds you when to sow, pinch, and transplant.
