🌸 Snapdragon Hanging Basket

🌼 Meaning:
Grace, strength, and enduring beauty — snapdragons symbolize resilience and gracious charm. Their name comes from the dragon-shaped blooms that “snap” open when gently pressed, a whimsical reminder that even strength can be delicate and full of joy. 💕🐉

🌷 Bloom Time:
Enjoy waves of color from early spring through late fall, especially when temperatures are mild. In the South, they often put on their best show in fall and early winter until the first hard frost. 🍂❄️

☀️ Where It Grows Best:
Snapdragons love full to partial sun and well-drained soil. Perfect for porches, patios, and sunny garden hooks, their blooms spill gracefully over the edges, bringing charm and cheer wherever they’re hung. 🌿🏡

🪴 Care Instructions:

• Light: 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily ☀️

• Water: Keep soil evenly moist; don’t let it completely dry out 💧

• Fertilizer: Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced bloom fertilizer 🌸

• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous color ✂️

• Temperature: Prefers cool weather; protect from intense summer heat 🧤

🌿 Type:
Snapdragons are tender perennials, but here in South Georgia (Zones 8–9), they’re most often grown as cool-season annuals. They may even reseed themselves for a surprise encore next year! 🌱✨

🌼 Complimentary Plant Material:
Pair with other cool-season beauties like pansies, violas, alyssum, dusty miller, ornamental cabbage, or kale for a layered seasonal display. Add trailing ivy or creeping jenny for extra texture and contrast. 🌿💜

💧 Hanging Basket Care Tips:

• Hang in morning sun / afternoon shade ☀️🌤️

• Rotate your basket for even growth 🔄

• Fertilize every other week for lush blooms 🌸

• Lightly trim mid-season to refresh growth and keep it looking full ✂️
