Plant Of The Month,
Discover The
"Snapdragon"
 Snapdragons
are great because they can be
planted during cold weather, and are cold hardy.
They love the winter season, and will bloom for
month's
as long as you keep cutting them back as they grow.
You can always use the cuttings when in full bloom
for
a colorful flower arrangement on your dinner
table, or anywhere in your home.
When shopping for snapdragons at your local nursery,
look for varieties that grow around 18 inches tall
in
height for best results.
The dwarf snapdragons
are not a good choice for cut flowers. A new variety
called “ Rocket Mix “ is an excellent pick. When
topped they grow large amounts of side
shoots filled with blooms.
Snapdragons require well – drained soil and can grow
in full sun to partial shade. There height is
anywhere from 6 inches to 3 feet , space them 1 to 3
feet apart. Flower colors are, red, yellow , white,
pink, orange, salmon, lavender, or purple.
The leaf color is green. They can be used as
landscape plant in your garden , or placed in pots
and containers. Great for a patio or deck.
Snapdragons are colorful and eye appealing , making
them for a fantastic look around your home.

The Gardener's Handbook Free Tip!
"Planting
Seeds in Your Garden Bed"
(page: 27)
When sowing the seeds in your vegetable or
flower garden,
it is
important to read the back of the packaging
to determine how deep the seeds should be
planted and how far apart your seeds should
be spaced. Depth is important because this
ensures the roots of your plants will be
able to reach the proper depths to keep your
plants healthy and strong.
Spacing is also important because your
plants can choke each other out as they
fight for space and nutrients if they are
planted too closely together. At the same
time, you want to utilize your space to its
fullest. Therefore, you don’t want to plant
your plants further apart than necessary.
