Notes
'Potomac Royal' snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus 'Potomac Royal') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the fragrant rose blooms.
Pairs well with Purple top, Anemone, and Tuberose.
