Here is the BEST Time to Start Snowdrop Seeds in Kansas (2023 Guide)

Do you want to grow snowdrop seeds in Kansas, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting snowdrop seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Snowdrop Seeds must be consistently watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.

  • Because Kansas growing season is not long enough, snowdrop seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.

Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start snowdrop seeds indoors in Kansas:

When to Start Snowdrop Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of snowdrop, it takes roughly 30 days to grow snowdrop from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. And it could take 2 years for your snowdrop to bloom!

The approximate date of when you should start your snowdrop seeds indoors can be found by:

  • Finding the first average frost date HERE
  • And then subtract 30 days from it

You can also find the average first frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:

Kansas Frost Dates

To help ensure the greatest success of your snowdrop seeds germinating you should:

  • Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Use a grow light to control how much light your snowdrop seeds receive
  • Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered

It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your snowdrop plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your first frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
