How to Grow a Snapdragon Vine

Snapdragons are tall spikes that are covered with flowers. The spikes can grow from 6 to 30 inches tall, depending on the type of plant. They are available in every color except blue. Easy to grow, snapdragons are often grown against a building, which makes them look like vines extending up the wall. They also make great boarders dividing the garden from the lawn.

Instructions

- 1
  Place potting soil into an egg carton. Fill each socket up with dirt. Sprinkle a couple of snapdragon seeds on top of the soil and place in sunlight. Do this 6 to 8 weeks before you expect the last frost. Water the seeds sparingly.
- 2
  Dig a 2-inch-deep row in your garden in an area that receives direct sunlight or light shade. Add about 1/2 inch of compost or peat moss and mix with the same amount of soil.
- 3
  Place the seedlings into the row about 1 inch apart. Fill with remaining soil and water.
- 4
  Pinch back the plants after you see about five leaves on them. This will encourage the plant to crow bushy instead of tall.
- 5
  Tie the plants to a stake with a soft cloth when they reach about 12 inches tall.
