Snapdragons are a delight, with their showy, butterfly-attracting flowers and their low-maintenance requirements. Most are grown as annuals since they tend to die back after heavy frost, but they can also be grown as short-lived perennials in warmer areas.

Originally bred for the cut flower trade, Potomac is ideal for production during periods of high light, long days and warm temperatures. Plants produce tall, strong stems and long spikes with good flower quality for excellent retail show and vase life. Can be grown year-round with supplemental high-intensity lighting. Suitable for greenhouse and field cut flower production, as well as home garden cut flowers.

"Snappy" is a hybrid dwarf line of snapdragons characterized as early flowering, strong branching plant habit, and full, closely spaced flower spikes. They come in distinctive and unusual colors as well as bi-colors. It is excellent for flower beds, borders, packs and mixed patio containers. They are exceptionally suitable for early spring and autumn as they can withstand frost well.
