I started my snaps jan 1st and planted them out in early March- they handled temps down to 18 deg for almost a week without any issues. I did cover them with a layer of agribon 19, but didnt do much else other than peek in and see if they were still alive.

So glad I found this video! Starting some snaps the last week of December and I feel much better about doing that now!

Yes, snaps are a hardy annual! Among other annuals, they can take very chilly weather!

Very informative video! I started snaps for the first time this year. I started in February indoors under lights. They started looking really sad around the end of March because I was keeping them inside at 70ish degrees. I ended up potting them up and didn't have the shelf space under the lights for all those extra pots so I evicted them to the great outdoors. It took some time but they've taken off and are branching out like crazy without being pinched. I am in Canada near the Detriot border. I was finally able to get a few out in the field I started this year I am eager to get them all in the ground but this rain isn't making it easy. Happy to find your channel and learn and grow with you! :)

Nothing looks lusher than a bouquet of dinnerplate dahlias. Sooooo decadent! OK, on to snapdragons. I'm growing them for the first time, know very little about them and found this video very informative, thanks! Started my seeds in Feb., at 17deg., planted out in April and our unnaturally cold and wet weather means they are all still only about 3" tall so according to you they should be stocky and well branched on their own. Works for me.

I have had people knock on my door saying they have a special occasion they want to bring a bouquet of dinnerplates to and they usually spend about $30-40. I am going to try and have a few $35 bouquets at my market along with mostly $20. The few $20s I had at my roadside flower wagon sold and they were mostly filler - one had 4 tulips, one had 3 camellias, and so forth. I did not wrap but did wide and tall spikes with cherry blossoming branches (width) and giant Solomon seal (height).

Hi there 👋🏻! So some people well tell you yes and some people no. For example, Nicole from flower hill farm doesn’t need to use netting. But many other farmers do. I used netting last year but didn’t think it was necessary. We didn’t get super crazy winds. But if we had a tropical storm, you betcha that netting would have been crucial if the snaps were tall enough!

That’s exactly my question. How does group 1 come back following year in Cali without dying off in 113 degree weather? Or does it just go dormant with the heat. Do we cut back?

@bareflowerfarm

7 ай бұрын

Since I don't live in this zone, it's hard for me to answer since I don't have experience. I would suspect that the plant actually didn't "die" and that if you cut it all the way to the ground after the first flush, you could potentially get it to come back. However, the plant would also likely be super stressed from the heat and while it could come back, I would think it makes sense to replant if you are trying to maximize your yield. I would trial a small amount to see!

This kind of answered a question I had about varieties. So I should plan my starting date indoors by the different varieties and when they are best grown/blooming?

@bareflowerfarm

Жыл бұрын

Absolutely! For example, group 1 should be started at a way diff time than group 4!

Really loved this video, especially your emphasis on how to get sturdy stems. Couldn't get there last year, and now I know why. Question: if space weren't an issue, would you have just started with 2" soil blocks rather than starting in 3/4" ones, to save potting up time/effort? Or is there a reason besides space concerns not to start with a bigger block?

@bareflowerfarm

Жыл бұрын

That is a good question. I would say, knowing what I know now, I actually would start with the 2 inch blocks but seed 2 seeds per block. This would definitely increase the chances of close to 100% germination and I've found that 2 snapdragons can thrive well in 6 inch squares when you transplant. If I had concerns about germination, I would keep it to starting in the 3/4 ones. For me, the size of the block will also depend on the flower if space were not an issue. For example, I would keep zinnias to a 3/4 block because they don't like staying indoors for too long. So at that point, you can minimize the seed starting mix you need to buy/make. Hopefully this makes sense!!

I just bought 3 different snapdragons from Home Depot the other day. I planted them all together in a pot. Does the same pinching rule apply to store-bought snapdragons that are already in bloom? A big part of me wants to go ahead and pinch the main stalk that’s full of blooms right now. I’m never one that worries about losing a few blooms for the longevity of my plants. I’d rather forfeit one stalk right now, so I can enjoy multiples down the road! But I guess I’m hesitant because they were bought from Home Depot, lol! I didn’t baby them from seed in my own backyard. I don’t want to go pinching off the beautiful blooms only for them to not produce anymore, and then I end up losing the only blooms I have. I’ve only been gardening for the last five years, so I am still kind of new to it. I’m learning a lot, but I’ve never even dared to try messing with snapdragons. They seem like they can be finicky at times and I already grow plenty of high maintenance plants in my garden!😂🌸

@bareflowerfarm

I don't think pinching will ruin them! Where are you located? I'm surprised youre finding pots that already are full of bloom. One thing to note is that the nursery snaps are typically bedding snaps vs cutting snaps. The bedding snaps are bred to be shorter. Just wanted to make sure you're aware!

Great video! Very helpful! Can anyone tell me how close to plant them? I've mostly got people saying 12 inch apart but other people say plant them close so they don't fall down

Hi! 12 inches is wayyyy to far. I plant 3 within a single horotnova square which is 6 x 6 inches. Snaps can do really well crammed together :)

Maybe next time you can show what is meant by pinching off and how to do it. Slowly and closely. Thanks.

@bareflowerfarm

Жыл бұрын

If it's 80% personal then plant whatever you want!! I would say that definitely choose based off of the groupings so that you can achieve multiple successions. But outside of that, there's alot of trial and error to see what you like. I personally love Potomac, Rocket and if I could, I would try Chantilly in place of Madame Butterly. My Madame's were just a tad bit too short this year

I feel a tad silly, but as much as I want to put my Madame Butterfly snaps in the ground this week, they’re not big. Stocky and hardened off and could be covered if needed, but they only 6-8 leaves. The weather is going to be perfect…I’m not sure why I’m on the fence, but here I am! 😭😂 They were started early February and I’m in southern Ohio. Any thoughts?

@bareflowerfarm

Жыл бұрын

I actually think your scenario is the BEST time to put out the snaps. I like evicting my cold hardy annual seedlings earlier than later. Stocky is good - the last thing you want is super tall snaps that are going out in this weather that can still change. I am also of the mindset that it's OK to lose some seedlings if you learn from the experience. So perhaps put half out and keep half inside just in case? I've learned through my personal experience that snaps are quite hardy but things like stock are a bit more sensitive to soil temps. In any case, my vote is to put some out :)

This is the tough part. You gotta do some digging via Google. Generally the breeders have good information sheets that can direct you to what group it may be

So once you put the plastic cover over them do you water them again before the sprout? Do you take the plastic cover off at all before they sprout?

@bareflowerfarm

You would lift the cover immediately when they sprout or else you risk fungal disease. At the right temp, they should sprout quickly enough for you not need to water since the cover helps keep humidity higher thereby reducing the need to water.
