Maryland True Pink Snapdragon

Maryland True Pink is an upright snapdragon in PanAmerican Seed’s Maryland cut-flower series, selected for pink flower spikes on sturdy stems. The breeder classifies it in Groups 1 and 2 and lists 39–60-inch stems, a useful size for cut-flower beds and protected cool-season production. See [PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/057800892004190/snapdragon-maryland-true-pink/) for this cultivar’s production details and [University of Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/snapdragon) for garden-care guidance. ## Garden use Plant the tall spikes toward the back or middle of a sunny border, or grow them in rows for cutting. PanAmerican Seed lists True Pink as a separate color selection and describes the Maryland series for greenhouse and high-tunnel crops. Its group classification supports scheduling for cool-season production, while outdoor flowering dates depend on local conditions. ## Growing conditions Choose full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Snapdragons generally perform best during cooler weather, and heat can reduce flowering quality. Keep moisture steady during establishment and dry spells, but let excess water drain away. The breeder’s 39–60-inch measurement refers to stem length; garden-grown height can vary. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower spikes to encourage further flowering. Tall stems may need staking in windy locations or when grown for cut flowers, especially if they begin to lean under the weight of the blooms.
