Snaptastic™ Yellow Snapdragon Care

The Snaptastic™ Yellow Snapdragon develops the best blooms when it is grown in full sun. As with other snaps, it prefers a neutral soil that is fertile and well drained. Water well after planting and from then on when the top inch of soil dries out. When the first flowers open, you can begin to fertilize every 2 weeks to prolong blooming. Regular deadheading will prevent the plant from going to seed and encourage more blooms. 

Snapdragons are often grown as an annual and discarded at the end of the season. However, in warmer parts, you can cut them back hard in the fall and mulch to protect the roots over the winter months. They will return the following spring.

Snaptastic™ Yellow Snapdragon Spacing

Fully grown, the Snaptastic™ Yellow Snapdragon can reach a size of 14 to 16 inches tall and wide. When growing en masse, you can plant this snapdragon at a spacing of 14 to 16 inches.
