    I had some overwinter last year in zone 5b. I was amazed and enjoyed them all summer. We are having a very cold January so probably will not happen again.

    Lovely! I always look forward to notifications from your channel ❤ Tonya, do the open-faced varieties attract bees and hummingbirds as much as the traditional varieties? Have you noticed any differences?

    • @TONYAwiththeflowers
      @TONYAwiththeflowers  6 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I haven't noticed a difference with the bees, but the hummingbirds definitely seem to favor the open-faced types. Hope that helps! Happy gardening! 🌱🌱🌱

    • @TONYAwiththeflowers
      @TONYAwiththeflowers  7 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I knew that I would forget to mention something! Yes, you can definitely pinch them back when they're small. This will result in bushier plants, and likely, more stems. That said, none of the snaps in this video were pinched. Hope it helps! 🌱🌱🌱

    • @TONYAwiththeflowers
      @TONYAwiththeflowers  7 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Everything should be roughly the same, though containers are likely more sensitive to cold. I think this would be especially true if trying to overwinter them. Pots will also dry much quicker, needing more consistent water. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

    Super helpful, thanks! What do you do with your perennialized snaps? Do you cut them back in winter? Or pinch them?

    • @TONYAwiththeflowers
      @TONYAwiththeflowers  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I generally wait until spring to cut them back, using a high mowing as an early "pinch" to help with branching. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

    Hi and thanks for the information. I am in zone 6b and had snapdragons for the first time last year - looks like many of them survived winter let’s see☺️ a question what do you do your snapdragons stems are standing so straight- in my garden they are mostly laying on the ground or other flowers after first rain. I am not sure what I did wrong …

    • @TONYAwiththeflowers
      @TONYAwiththeflowers  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I've noticed that they seem much stronger now that I've moved them to a bed that gets full sun the entirety of the day. The closer spacing and more frequent cutting also made a big difference. That said, nothing beats an especially strong storm. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

    Winter sowing is so helpful; however, if it is -23° most Januarys? Januaries? Januarys, that's not the time to winter sow. Winter sowing in 3b/4a is an interesting experiment. By the time it's reliably warm enough, it's too late to start many things, so for me, I've had to be a bit pickier what I put outside.

    • @TONYAwiththeflowers
      @TONYAwiththeflowers  6 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I can definitely see where January would be too early. Fortunately, seed containers generally won't begin to germinate until the time is right and the weather has warmed a bit. Hope that you're staying warm! Happy gardening! 🌱🌱🌱

    • @Anirra-in-Z3b-4a
      @Anirra-in-Z3b-4a 5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @TONYAwiththeflowers Oh for sure!!! It's more an issue with getting things to bloom the first year. Foxglove, is a good example. If I start it indoors in January, it will bloom the first season. If I winter sow they don't get started growing until April and the season is too short for them to get flowers off. My last frost is May 11th and first Sept 20th. There's other varieties where it's not a big issue. I've wondered though, if sometimes there's an issue with taking my seeds from the fridge that is upper 30°s and putting them in a jug when it's anywhere under 0° if that's a shock to them affecting germination. Edit: Idk why it didn't dawn on me until just now, Any containers above ground usually can be considered at least one zone lower. If I'm a zone 3, there's so many of these seeds just not rated for zone 2.

    Do you plant your snapdragon transplants outside in late February early March? Im in zone 7B Oklahoma and trying to figure out when to start my snaps and plant them outside. I see Lisa Mason Zeigler say you should plant them outside 6-8 weeks before last frost which for me is about February 18 which means I start my seeds indoors under lights about now. Just seems kind of early and this will be my first year growing snaps. Thanks for any help you can give! Really enjoyed this video!😊

    • @TONYAwiththeflowers
      @TONYAwiththeflowers  7 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      I usually transplant as soon as the soil can be worked, so late February or early March. They're surprisingly cold hardy. Should harsh weather threaten, they can always be covered with a frost blanket. Hope that helps! 🌱🌱🌱

      I live in OKC area and snapdragons are champions in our area. I grow them in an exposed area in large raised beds. I like to grow large swaths of them. They perform beautifully and I don't have to baby them. I love the madam butterfly series, but the ordinary tall deluxe variety act perrennial. Mine have survived the single digit temps we've had. Additionally, mine have come through our miserably hot summers. Just water them, but dont expect blooms again until mid Sept when temps cool. They aren't fussy and I've had zero bug problems. I've started both in trays and winter method. They separate easily. I just sewn some seed trays this weekend. They will go outside first week of March.

      @@anniewildmush1284 Hi Annie! Being a flowerfarmer myself, I would think you should be able to charge 1,5 Canadian Dollar per stem. There are several Canadian flowerfarmers, that talk about this special item. If I got them right, you could demand twice as much as you intend to do. To be honest: even where I sell (and its really hard here with extremely low prices because of lots of cheap import), I would demand the higher price. Its very difficult to start with too low prices. Not only its really bad for other professional growers, but also for yourself. You won't be able to refinance your production costs and make a living of it on the long term and its so much more difficult to raise prices, when your customers once got used to these very low prices! I know its tempting, especially when you are starting and just want to get into selling, but I wouldn't sell at that price, just because it would never cover the costs you had. Have a look into some special videos about pricing at: b.a.r.e flower farm! Thats really helpfull!! Good luck and much fun!!! 💖🤗🌻

      I’m in Nova Scotia. Selling by stem is hard. In this economy, I find people really like to see nice full bouquets in order to buy. My market bouquets always sell WAY faster if I fill them out a bit more, but I usually end up with 15/16 stems per 20$ bouquet.

      I forgot to mention it! Thank you so much for reminding me. You can definitely add a layer of netting, but it can make harvesting a little difficult. I haven't bothered to add it the last few seasons and haven't had too much trouble, with the exception of one very strong thunderstorm that made quite a mess of the bed. Hope that helps! 🌱🌱🌱
