1000 Potomac Dark Pink Snapdragon Seeds – Ruffled Blooms for Cutting Gardens

Potomac Dark Pink Snapdragon is a classic cool-season annual prized for its tall, sturdy stems and densely packed spikes of ruffled, rose-pink blooms. The Potomac series is known for uniform growth and excellent performance as a cut flower, making it a favorite for borders, cottage gardens, and fresh or dried floral arrangements. These 1000 seeds offer an economical way to fill beds and cutting gardens with long-lasting color.

Snapdragons bring vertical interest and a nostalgic charm to the garden. The dark pink flowers open from the bottom of the spike upward, providing weeks of color in spring and early summer, and often again in fall where summers are mild. Plants are attractive to pollinators and make a beautiful addition to mixed borders and container plantings.

Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and press gently; do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65–70°F and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Germination typically occurs in 10–21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in a cool, bright location.

Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 9–12 inches apart in well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks. Pinch back young plants to encourage branching, and deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.
