Do snapdragons do better in pots and containers or just straight in the ground?

Snaps do well in pots or the ground, in the south where I live{Georgia} they are a perennial. We grow them in the fall, the same time we grow pansies, kale, cabbage, parsley and dusty miller. They hit there peak prettiness around march-may. Then they need dead heading[removal of old flower heads]. They probably can grow through the summer season up north where the summers aren't so long. If you grow anything in pots remember you will have to water more often than in the ground, but it may be easier for you to raise the in pots, be sure and fertilize them with a time release fert. or the liquid or powder you mix with water, 20-10-20 is ok for the summer. Read directions well. Happy planting!!!!!

If you can overwinter plants in their growing positions Antirrhinums (Snapdragons) will grow into far larger, stronger,superior plants, than shop bought container plants. If you use them just for containers and then throw them away at seasons end, then treat them like any annual plant. If you want BIG plants, grow from seed planted at summers end.
Reply:They do well either way! I plant them in pots and put a few in my beds every winter and they do great until late May, when the temperatures real start getting up there.
Reply:It depends if you want them on a patio in a pot or in a garden. They will do well in either but in pots make sure that the soil can drain. There needs to be a hole in the bottom of the pot. Put some stones or broken clay pot pieces over the hole enough to keep the dirt from falling out but allowing water flow.
