Potomac snapdragon mix with tall stems of deep burgundy, raspberry, mauve, and magenta blooms
Group 3/4
If you’re looking for tall, uniform, florist-grade snapdragons, the Potomac™ series is the one to grow. Bred specifically for high-stem quality, strong flower spikes, and excellent vase life, Potomac™ snaps are a favourite among professional cut flower growers.
Berry Crush brings together the most striking colours in the range—deep raspberry, rich burgundy, soft mauve, and bold magenta—for bouquets with real impact. These snapdragons thrive in warm conditions, making them perfect for late spring through autumn production. With long, sturdy stems and saturated tones, they’re a dream for floral design.
 
What Makes Potomac Snapdragons Special?
  • Tall, Straight Stems – Ideal for the cut flower market.
  • Heat-Tolerant – Unlike many snapdragons that struggle in the heat, Potoma continues producing strong, high-quality stems even in summer temperatures.
  • Long Bloom Window – Perfect for mid-to-late-season production, with a steady succession of blooms.
  • Strong Stem Structure – Less prone to bending, so you get perfectly straight, elegant spikes every time.
  • Uniform Growth & Bloom Timing – This series has been bred for consistent performance, meaning plants bloom at roughly the same time and produce marketable stems week after week.
