Potomac Dark Orange
Snapdragon Seeds
Potomac Dark Orange snapdragons are among the best snapdragons for cut flowers. Traditional snapping-mouthed florets are a warm, rich orange hue with subtle gold and pink accents, tightly arranged along sturdy, 36-40 in. tall flower spikes in late spring and summer. In the garden, Potomac Dark Orange snapdragons stand out like glowing torches when planted towards the back of mixed borders, along fence lines, or in large container plantings.
Growing Potomac Dark Orange Snapdragon Seeds
Plant Snapdragon Seeds: Sow snapdragon seeds in cell packs or flats, press into soil but do not cover. Need light to germinate. Kept at 55°F., germination is in 10-21 days. Transplant dwarf snapdragon seedlings 6-8 in. apart, tall snapdragons 12-18 in. apart. Direct sowing snapdragon seed is not recommended.
Grow Snapdragons: Full sun, will tolerate part sun especially in warm climates. Plants like rich, moist, well-drained soils. Avoid overhead watering. When cut back after flowering, snapdragons will quickly bloom again.
