I have the Rocketmix Snapdragon will it tolerate winter and have alot of blooms? Does it take full sun or shade? Do i need to remove the faded flowers so that new blooms will appear? Please help!! zone8b.

yes it will survive.I'm further east than you.I grew in hanging baskets.yes deadhead them and fertilize regularly for constant almost bloom& in spring I sheared back.the ones you got now will fizzle out in about august.I resowed the seeds& added some stock to the baskets also.
also ya might try for color some panseys,marigold,calendula,dianthus(love dianthus)my marigold a lay a paper over them on frosty nights.gotta get ya some camillias too.I have a tree camillia getting ready to bloom next month,will bloom till march.And weirdly enough.I have 3 blooms on my gardenia.I've never known them to re bloom.plus my gourds are growing again& produceing.weird year.
