Do you have any tips for growing snapdragons?

I am in Ky, not sure what growing zone that is off hand, but I have not had much luck with snapdragons. I love them, what works for you? Thanks!

Do you have any tips for growing snapdragons?
I find snapdragons are fairly easy to grow. We originally bought a couple of plants and put them into a nice sunny spot and watered them regularly. They spread really easily since they seed themselves. We've had success planting from seeds as well. We didn't really do anything special with them, just threw them into some worked up soil, watered them, and watch them sprout. Could also be that my mom has a green thumb lol
Reply:I dont know if you are trying to start them from seed or if you are buying transplants from a garden store like walmart,kmart or an actual nursery. I have never tried them from seed but when I buy them at the store I have never had a bad plant infact these are supposed to be a annual but most of the time they come back for a few years. They are like a weed put them in a pot or in the ground and water them. The warmer it gets the better they do but just water them sometimes the plants in the pots get watered twice a day and I also fertilize every two weeks from May to the end of July. For the most part I think they like sunshine at least part of the day so sun to part shade. I do love snapdragons many different colors and heights to choose from. I hope this helps good luck!
Reply:I love my Snappers!! :) Give them a sunny spot and watch them go. I buy mine in flats at the nursery rather than growing from seed. I have had Snapdragons survive several seasons if the winters are mild ( I'm in Va. ). They re-seed freely, too. Deadhead the spent blooms. That's really all there is to them.
