Transplanting Instructions Your 3" potted Snapdragon Twinny Peach is ready to transplant once all danger of hard frost has passed (ideally when night temps are consistently above 40°F).
- Harden off plants for 5–7 days by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions.
- Choose a spot with full sun and well-draining, moist, fertile soil (pH neutral to slightly acidic).
- Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Gently remove the plant from the pot, loosen any circling roots, and place it in the hole at the same depth as it was growing in the pot.
- Space plants 6 inches apart. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.
- Mulch lightly to retain moisture and keep roots cool. Water regularly until established (keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged).
- For bushier growth and more blooms, pinch the tips when plants are 4–6 inches tall. Deadhead spent spikes to encourage continuous flowering all season.
These easy-care plants thrive with average water and a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks. They perform beautifully in both garden beds and containers.
