Southern Indiana (Zone 6a) I'll quit while I'm ahead...              CrazedHoosier May 4, 2018 1:46 PM CST |
| Another problem for me, unfortunately. My large (36 inch) snapdragons, are not blooming! They're also just 12 inches tall atm, but have been planted for a month now. My dwarf snapdragons are blooming like crazy right now - which is why I'm concerned. The local nursery where I got them from, also has no blooms yet in terms of the large dragons. What is going on? Is my area just not compatible with the large variety? Maybe we should get a second opinion... |

| Well, I've had them since mid-March, and they've grown just around 2 inches since. If they keep growing at that rate, they will bloom by the end of summer! They won't even survive the summers here! Maybe we should get a second opinion... |

| Crazedhoosier, Don't give up just yet. I think it's not mature yet. Maybe throw some fertilizer on it to give it a boost. Just my opinion of course!! Happier gardening!! 😀 Mindi |

I have some volunteer Snapdragons that show up every summer (even though they are annuals  - I didn't plant them). They haven't shown up yet this summer, and yes, I will see them blooming in the fall.You live in a colder zone then I do. I think you are being WAY impatient.

| My annuals are slow with the cooler weather, we have been unseasonable cooler and my whole garden is at least a couple of weeks behind the usual schedule. Once things warm up, everything really gets going. My gardening Blog! Handmade quilts, face masks, new & vintage fabrics in my Etsy store. Summer Song Cottage Instagram Sewing posts |

Once things warm up, everything really gets going. Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one. My lilac this year bloomed a whole month later than it did last year! Things are a bit slow this year, it seems. I am mainly just worried because my snapdragons are very touchy about the sunlight here. They will wilt practically to death if they receive more than 5 hours of direct sunlight. I don't even want to imagine what will happen to them in the summer sun... Maybe we should get a second opinion... |

I'll help my 3 foot dragons along a bit with some Miracle-Gro, and hope they bloom before the end of June! Thanks for the help, everyone!   Maybe we should get a second opinion... |

| Your lilacs have already bloomed? I think mine will this week.

DaisyI said:Your lilacs have already bloomed? I think mine will this week. They sure have! They started on exactly May 1st! They're currently making my yard smell AMAZING! I'm thinking about planting several more this year for complete lilac coverage of early spring to late spring! Maybe we should get a second opinion... |
