: How do you prune snapdragons. Do you cut them down or do you pick off dead flowers for the best continued growth? Thanks.
Hi Sharon,
Just pinch of the faded blooms, and they'll keep going. If you have snapdragons that are leggy, you can pinch the tips of the stems (no need for drastic cutting) and they will branch out nicely for you. Also, don't know what zone you're in. I'm in 5. Snapdragons are pretty tough little annuals. We've found around here that if we leave them in the ground over winter, and the winter hasn't been too harsh, sometimes they will survive and return in the spring. -Kathy
