Hi everyone, I started snapdragons from seed this year and for some reason they are all bent over like an upside down "L". I kept the grow lights a few inches above the tops so I'm not sure why they aren't standing straight up. I've planted them in the garden now, so I'm hoping they will right themselves us. Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong?
snapdragons
Can you post a picture of them?
Here is a picture of them
Do you know what variety they are? I've never grown them from seeds, but bought some for my window mixes a couple years ago. I thought 'oh how pretty, I'll get a variety!'
Since I had bought too many, I put some here & there in my flower beds. Some of them grew straight up, some, like yours, grew sideways. They tried to root along the stem, and sent flower stems straight up, similar to an image in your head of a toothed rake.
Not saying that's what your are, but it's a possibility.
They are the Rocket type
unfortunately I don't know what mine were. They had a general tag and were all mixed up. Hopefully yours will straighten out for you.
