Potomac ‘Cherry Rose’ – Tall, Later-Flowering Snapdragon 

If you want a snapdragon that brings bold, romantic colour and strong architectural shape to your garden or cutting patch, Potomac ‘Cherry Rose’ is a brilliant choice. This variety sits within the well-loved Potomac series — bred specifically for tall stems, excellent vase life, and reliable later-season flowering. It’s perfect for gardeners, florists, and anyone who loves rich colour that lasts long into summer.

Potomac ‘Cherry Rose’ produces tall spires of deep cherry-pink blooms, with subtle rosy undertones that look incredible in the sunlight. The petals have a velvety richness to them, giving each bloom extraordinary presence whether you grow them in beds, borders, or dedicated cutting rows. If you enjoy vibrant colours that still feel refined, ‘Cherry Rose’ strikes the perfect balance.

Because the Potomac series flowers later than many snapdragons, this variety helps extend your blooming season beautifully. While earlier types begin to fade, Potomac ‘Cherry Rose’ steps in with strong stems and a fresh flush of colour. It’s perfect for succession planting or ensuring your cutting patch keeps producing long into summer.

As always, we raise your plants here in our South Devon nursery, using peat-free compost for healthy, sustainable growth. Each order includes 6 jumbo plug plants — robust, well-rooted, and ready to thrive once planted. We pack every order in our hado bags, which are biodegradable or reusable, keeping your plants well protected while helping reduce waste.

Why Potomac ‘Cherry Rose’ Is a Garden Favourite

This variety is striking without being overwhelming. The rich cherry rose colour works beautifully with softer pastels, deep purples, whites, and even spicy orange shades. It’s a wonderfully flexible addition to bouquet work too — offering height, drama, and dependable vase life.

Pollinators also love it. The classic snapdragon shape invites bees inside, and the tall stems make the blooms easy to spot.
