Potomac Snapdragon Seeds - Summer Berry Mix, 1000 Seeds for Planting

Potomac Snapdragon Seeds in the Summer Berry Mix bring tall, colorful spikes of snapdragon blooms to beds, borders, and cutting gardens. Antirrhinum majus 'Potomac' is a well-known series prized for its uniform, sturdy stems and large, densely packed flower spikes that open from the bottom upward for a long season of color. The Summer Berry Mix offers a berry-toned palette of pinks, roses, and deep reds that blends beautifully in cottage gardens and formal plantings alike.

These snapdragons are a favorite for cut flower arrangements because of their strong stems and long vase life. The upright, clumping habit also makes them a striking vertical accent in mixed borders, containers, and mass plantings. With 1000 seeds, this packet offers plenty of material for a generous garden display or successive sowings.

Planting & Care

Sow snapdragon seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist seed-starting mix; they need light to germinate, so do not cover them deeply. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a moderate temperature. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors.

Space plants about 9 to 12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep plants evenly moist, especially during dry spells, and apply a light mulch to conserve moisture. Pinch young plants to encourage branching, and remove spent flower spikes to promote continued blooming. Tall stems may benefit from staking in windy sites.
