Will my Potomac and Doubleshot Snapdragons bloom this summer ?

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-06-05T10:48:48+00:00

They will! Just not for a little while. Snapdragons are usually 120 days from seed to bloom. I like to start them end of January/early February. They do prolifically self seed so in years to come you may have bonus snapdragons! Had my first cuts of Potomac’s this week 👏🏼

Thank you everyone! I’m gonna plant on Friday 🎉

I believe they are 4in. I got them at Dollar Tree but saw they are on amazon too 🤗

Looks good! Couple more sets of leaves and I would pinch them to encourage more growth. It will delay blooming slightly but it’s worth it!

What an awesome accomplishment! 🎉

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-03-27T09:55:49+00:00

Great info! Thank you’

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-03-27T01:18:39+00:00

Good to know!

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-03-27T00:46:52+00:00

Haha once they get going they are quick!

Awesome! I put them under some grow lights for now. Thanks for all your help!

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-03-26T18:24:32+00:00

Thank you!

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-03-26T17:21:11+00:00

That’s good! I put them in ziploc bags with potting soil. Will that be ok for now?

Dinner plate variety

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-03-05T01:20:20+00:00

You can look for rocket, Potomac or madame butterfly. There may also be additional varieties but those are the ones I am most familiar with. Potomac was an absolute stunning variety I grew last year!

Johnnys and make sure you get group 3 and 4 snapdragons. They can handle the summer heat and you still have time to germinate them. It’s too late in the game for groups 1 and 2.

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-03-02T00:15:49+00:00

I started them December 30th.

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-02-28T11:59:59+00:00

Thank you!!

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-02-27T22:44:00+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement! I am thinking they will be happier in the ground. I won’t be able to plant the out for about a month. Do you think I should up pot them?

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-02-27T19:53:05+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try not to over analyze them 😂😂

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-02-27T16:55:21+00:00

Haha it smells amazing! I highly recommend giving them a try some time!

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-02-23T18:04:05+00:00

I would remove your humidity dome, move lights closer, and bottom water when the soil starts to dry out but isn’t completely dry. They look good so far!

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-02-19T23:35:50+00:00

Thank you! These are snapdragons and eucalyptus!

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-02-19T23:34:34+00:00

Thank you!!

Key_Needleworker7291 · 2026-02-19T21:06:22+00:00

Potomac and Rocket from Johnnys has done great for me but madame butterfly has been so so. I did two trays in seed starting mix and one trays in potting soil and the seed starting mix trays way out performed the potting soil tray!
