1000 Potomac Cherry Rose Snapdragon Seeds for Planting
Potomac Cherry Rose Snapdragon is a tall, cool-season annual prized for its dense spikes of vibrant pink-red blooms. The Potomac series is known for strong stems, uniform growth, and excellent cut flower performance, making this snapdragon a favorite for cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and mixed borders. The rich cherry rose color adds warm, saturated tones to beds, containers, and floral arrangements.
These snapdragons bring vertical interest and long-lasting color to the garden. The flower spikes open from the bottom upward, providing weeks of bloom, and the sturdy stems hold up well in bouquets. Pollinators are drawn to the blooms, and the plants work beautifully when grouped in the back of a border or planted in rows for cutting.

Planting & Care
Sow snapdragon seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate, and keep the growing medium moist but not soggy. Maintain a temperature around 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant outdoors.
Space plants 9 to 12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer as needed. Pinch young plants to encourage branching, and deadhead spent blooms to promote continued flowering. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.
