Have YOU ever seeded snapdragon seeds? If you have you know that they are so tiny that they are very difficult to work with. With my intellect and desire to find the easiest way to do things, I have come up with my genius technique, that saves me a measurable amount of time! Basically, I broadcast spread the seeds in a tray, then prick the seedlings out when they are tiny. For me personally, its quicker to do it this way, because pricking them out is easier than the process of manipulating and precisely depositing the teeny tiny snapdragon seeds. So learn from me! Or don’t, but still watch the video. Don’t forget to press the like button, I wouldn’t ask if it didn’t actually help us. And, If you really want to help us, click on one of our other videos at the end of the video, that’s the single biggest positive feedback thing that a viewer can do.
PS no seedlings were hurt in the filming of this video

Thanks, this technique will be helpful to me. Does it work with other flower seedlings, while avoiding transplant shock?
One method i have tried in the past is using a pencil and sowing into cells. Wet the end of the pencil so it is a little tacky then dip into seeds and poke into surface of soil. I found that you may have a few seeds stick and grow in the center of each cell, then just thin out as they grow. I do this with most small dust like seeds.
I use this technique as well! For very small seeds and to sprinkle them a bit more evenly, I usually mix them with a bit of sand. It usually results in a better spread.
Good start for new season
This is exactly how I sow and up pot my Snapdragons!
I didn't see anyone do it, I learned from trial and error!
I use several smaller containers and I got over 100 in a much smaller container and MORE TO GO! Lowe's had snapdragons for $1.87 a plant!!
Love from India, Nagaland ….my snaps are in full bloom now…we can grow flowers here 365 days..n I grow for myself…
great video. I am planning next week to sow my very first snapdragon seeds (zone 5b so May 15th last frost) and I am trying to learn all the techniques for these just as a home hobbyist.
One word of advice if you are pricking out seedling from a seed mix with mixed colors/varieties, etc: Don't throw out the smaller or weak ones, as these are often the ones with brighter colored flowers. If you don't need all of them, take a selection of different shapes and sizes.
