Full description
Snapdragon Potomac Lavender is a premium cut-flower variety known for its elegant spikes of soft lavender blooms and strong, upright stems. This classic cottage garden favourite produces tall, densely packed flower spikes that add vertical interest and refined colour to garden beds, borders, and floral arrangements. The Potomac series is specially bred for uniform growth, excellent stem length, and superior garden performance. Its delicate pastel lavender tones blend beautifully with both bold and soft colour palettes, making it a versatile choice for ornamental gardens and cut flower production. Cool-tolerant and long blooming, this variety thrives in cooler seasons and continues to produce abundant blooms with regular harvesting.

Full Growing information from seed:

  • Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost for best results

  • Use a fine, well-draining seed-starting mix

  • Surface sow seeds and lightly press into the soil; do not cover as they require light to germinate

  • Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination

  • Ideal germination temperature: 18–21°C

  • Germination typically occurs in 10–14 days

  • Provide bright light immediately after germination to prevent legginess

  • Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting outdoors

  • Transplant once soil is workable and plants are well established

  • Space plants 20–30 cm apart for proper airflow and strong growth

  • Water regularly, keeping soil evenly moist but well-drained

  • Pinch young plants to encourage bushier growth and more flower spikes

  • Deadhead or harvest blooms regularly to promote continuous flowering

  • Stake taller plants if grown in exposed or windy areas

  • Prefers rich, well-drained soil with moderate fertility

  • Performs exceptionally well in garden beds, borders, and cut flower gardens
