Potomac™ Dark Pink Snapdragon

Potomac™ Dark Pink is an upright Antirrhinum majus cut-flower snapdragon; PanAmerican Seed identifies the cultivar code Balmocarp. The breeder reports stem lengths of 39–60 inches for greenhouse or high-tunnel production. ## Flowering and cutting The [exact PanAmerican cultivar profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/057801176004077/snapdragon-potomac-dark-pink/) lists late spring, summer, and late summer flowering, and describes the Potomac crop as producing strong stems and long spikes. It recommends high light, long days, and warm temperatures. The published 39–60-inch figure is stem length rather than a mature garden-height measurement. ## Siting and soil The breeder lists sun exposure and upright habit. For snapdragons generally, [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/antirrhinum-majus/common-name/common-snapdragon/) recommends full sun to part shade and moist, rich, well-drained soil. It notes low drought tolerance and reduced performance in summer heat; apply this species guidance with local conditions in mind. ## Maintenance Water near the soil line and avoid overhead irrigation. Stake tall plants where needed and monitor foliage for rust and other leaf diseases in humid weather.
