Maryland White Snapdragon

Maryland White is a tall, upright snapdragon bred for cut-flower production, with white flower spikes on sturdy stems. PanAmerican Seed classifies it in Groups 1 and 2 and lists 39–60-inch stems, suiting it to cool-season flower beds, greenhouses, and high tunnels. See [PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/057800892005863/snapdragon-maryland-white/) for this cultivar’s production details and [University of Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/snapdragon) for garden-care guidance. ## Garden use The white spikes add height and a clear color accent in mixed borders, and the long stems are suited to cutting. The breeder lists Maryland White as a distinct color selection in its Maryland series and recommends the group for autumn, winter, and spring production programs. Garden bloom timing still depends on climate and planting schedule. ## Growing conditions Provide full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Snapdragons are cool-season performers and may flower less well in sustained heat. Water regularly during establishment and dry weather, while ensuring excess water drains freely. The published 39–60-inch measurement describes cut stems rather than a guaranteed landscape height. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower spikes to encourage further flowering and keep the planting tidy. Tall plants may need staking, particularly in exposed positions or when stems are carrying full flower spikes.
