: I recently planted some snapdragons in a bucket and the blooms are drooping over. I bought a six-pack of different colored blossoms and only the white flowers stay upright. What is going on? What conditions are best for snapdragons? Is this the symptom of rust or some other ailment?

Hi Charity,

Many plants go through transplant shock and some individual plants are stronger than others. Sometimes the white plants seem stronger than say, the red. It just depends.

You ask if your plants have rust. Have you seen signs of this in your garden or on these plants? Snapdragons like full sun and water before they dry out.

Hope they're doing better by now.
