Growing from Seed

Bringing seedlings INDOORS to get them going?

12 years ago

Odd question, I know. I started many varieties of snapdragons by winter sowing. Also started some indoors. Those started indoors have done great and are going through the hardening-off process well. The winter-sown plants are so miniscule that (here in zone 5) I can't imagine they'll bloom before August. Can I bring them indoors to put them under lights and give them a better head start? Posted this on the winter-sown forum but have not received a response. Thanks.

I would not bring them in. The plants started outside will be stronger and catch up as the weather warms. Al
