When to Grow

Start Tetra Mix 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date and transplant outdoors after the last frost; the seed germinates in 7 to 14 days at an ideal germination temperature of 60 to 70°F. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart in full sun, wider than most snapdragons. The mix matures in 110 to 120 days. The flowers are early to bloom and continue for prolonged periods.

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.
