Potomac™ Pink Snapdragon

Potomac™ Pink is an F1 snapdragon from [PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/057801176004054/snapdragon-potomac-pink/)’s Potomac cut-flower series, selected for long, strong stems and clear pink flower spikes. Its rose-toned blooms and upright form suit cutting rows, high tunnels, greenhouses, and sunny mixed borders where vertical seasonal color is useful. ## Landscape Use PanAmerican Seed identifies this cultivar as a Group 3/4 cut-flower snapdragon with 39–60-inch stems. It is bred for high light, long days, and warm temperatures; the breeder notes that year-round greenhouse production is possible with supplemental high-intensity lighting. [Johnny’s](https://www.johnnyseeds.com/flowers/snapdragon/warm-season-groups-3-4/potomac-pink-pelleted-f1-snapdragon-seed-1947P.11.html) describes the blooms as light rose and lists the variety for field or greenhouse production. Its listed height range varies among commercial growing descriptions, so local spacing and crop conditions affect the finished stem. ## Flowering and Siting The breeder lists late spring, summer, and late summer flowering. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/snapdragon)’s general snapdragon guidance recommends full sun to light shade and moist, well-drained soil; it notes that snapdragons favor cooler parts of the year and that local flowering timing depends on conditions. Give tall plants room for air movement and consider support in exposed sites. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist while avoiding saturated soil. Remove faded flower spikes to promote rebloom and tidy plants. Tall snapdragons may need staking, especially where wind or rain can bend flowering stems.
