When to Grow

Rembrandt is a 120-day snapdragon, so sow it indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost date. Snapdragons are frost hardy, so harden off and transplant 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost to give it the full cool run it needs. Surface sow; seeds germinate in 10 to 14 days at an ideal germination temperature of 60 to 70 F. Grow the plants in full sun in rich, well-drained soil, spaced 6 to 12 inches apart, so the peach and pink spikes have room to reach cutting length.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Seeds germinate in 7-21 days.
  • Sow seeds 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant outdoors after last frost.
  • Ideal germination temperature is 60-70 F.

How to Grow

  • Prefers full sun.
  • Provide rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 6-12 inches apart.
  • Pinch the main growing stems when plants are 2-4 inches tall; this helps to keep plants well branched.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Leaf spots, rusts and molds can be a result of poor air circulation.
  • To avoid, space plants farther apart and keep foliage dry.

How to Save Seeds

  • Seeds are easy to collect.
  • They are super small and contained within capsules that will turn brown and dry when seeds are ready to harvest.
  • Hand pick the capsules individually or snip stalks and shake seeds free into a paper bag.
  • Store in a cool, dark, dry, place.
