How do you care for indoor snapdragon flowers?

Honestly, I don't know a thing about caring for flowers, but my boyfriend likes flowers so I want to make an indoor snapdragon garden for him. How do you care for snapdragons? Are the flowers safe to eat? (It says that the flowers are edible on the package of seeds but I don't know if that's a misprint or something.)


I haven't started on the garden yet, I want to have an idea on what i'm doing first.


Any suggestions?

How do you care for indoor snapdragon flowers?
For one thing snap dragons are more a outside then an inside plant. Growing them from seed is one way but do you plan to put them in a window box outside?





First you need a green house setup for the seeds. You can buy one or you can make one using any clear topped carry out tray (like the kind from taco bell 'nacho bell grande').





Put in good potting soil after you put in small drainage slits on the bottom of the tray.





Plant the seeds as instructed or 2" apart in the tray. Cover litely with soil and with a spray bottle from the dollar store spray the soil and seed until wet. Cover then let sit in a partly sunny location.





Once they've sprouted and start to over grow the cover, start training them with out the cover an hour a day to 6 hours to get use to the new environment . Water frequently.





Once they are use to the new environment then get the planter you plan to use and with a large spoon CAREFULLY (from the farthest point of the tray around the edge) gently scoop up the seedling and transplant it into the planter (already having a small hole pre dug to place it in. )





Once that is done make a new green house top using wire and saran wrap. Until they are over the shock of transplanting.





Once they are 2-3 inch's high start training them again in a sunny location with frequent watering's with the spray bottle.





Feed them a half strength water soluble plant food from the spray bottle about once every 2 weeks. If possible leave outside as a window box.
